( sylvie, on the other hand, lets go as soon as rita withdraws, not holding her although a part would like to do that, especially as the overwhelming, feverish heat returns as soon as they don't touch anymore. oh. oh no!

she starts fanning herself again, then looks helplessly at the other girl. )

Please touch me again! I think it helped. It feels like it's the only thing that does.

( saying those words and not blushing is a bit of a struggle, but she manages mostly because there's already so much heat in her cheeks, they feel like they're burning. she holds out both hands, inviting rita to take hers. )

Even for this place, that's strange.
