[A subtle tremor of relief passes through his body as she leans into him, as she kisses back again. He can feel her lips curve against his and it makes him smile, shy and clumsy but no longer as unsure as he was a moment ago. His experience may be limited but he can follow her lead just fine, and his hand at her waist draws her close with more confidence that she won't push him away. The rich heat of her body against his is intoxicating, a sweet mixture of familiar and new, an embrace made to be re-learned, memorized, treasured. She knows how to touch him, and he finds himself suddenly wondering how to touch her, what she likes or doesn't like, what areas would welcome his hands and what would be off-limits. He trusts her to tell him as he slides one hand up along her side, the other rising to cup the curve of her cheek, calloused fingers gently scraping at the smooth silk of her skin.
It's hard to break for air, though he needs to; he feels as if he's floating, lost in the sky, free from gravity and empowered like when the Armiger is unleashed. Held aloft now not by magic but by her presence, the taste of her kiss, the heat of her hands on him. There's no hesitation this time as he leans back in for more, initiating the next kiss, seeking to echo her movements from before, learning steps and angles and where the hell his tongue goes. He doesn't know what he's doing, he just- he wants her to keep smiling, he wants to be the one to make her smile. If his clumsy, foolish self can manage it, he's glad.]
