[ She's very tranquil. Completely different from him. It's oddly calming, though; an advantage of being someone who feeds off people around him so much. It's usually in a negative way, arguing for argument's sake, escalating situations that could have been defused, but today, it's not. He's still apprehensive, but his mind quiets a bit. It hasn't done that since he got here. It's nice. He looks amused by the CL4P-TP comment for a moment, then settles. ]
Okay. [ He's not very good at this, not the way she seems to be. For a second, he doesn't do anything, just looks at her. Her eyes are closed, so he figures maybe his should be, too. There's an urge to make a stupid joke to lighten his awkwardness, but he forces it down, knowing it'll probably make him seem more awkward than less. He takes a deep breath like she says, feeling a little stupid, then reaches out. ]
