Jenn picked up the last of the fries and nodded slightly. “That could be fun. Sure, why not.” She smiled, watching Viyara. Something had shifted in getting to know the woman a little better, and Jennifer found that the fuzzy butterflies that had filled her upon meeting Viyara had faded somewhat, leaving her with more of a warm happiness and a hope for a long friendship.

OOC: No worries :)

Rising to her feet, Viyara reached for Jenn’s hand and pulled the other woman to her feet and then started to lead the way out of the Lounge while doing her best to make sure that she wouldn’t bump into the table. “What do you feel more like? Holodeck or Arboretum?” she asked with a wide grin as she headed towards the dorr, still holding Jenn’s hand.~Ensign Nazeen, Scientist
bump :)
“Let’s go for the Arboretum,” Jenn replied, carefully extracting her hand from Viyara’s grip and crossing her arms, tucking her hands under her armpits as she followed after the other woman. “I like plants…” she trailed off. As they walked through the corridor, Jenn straightened her posture, folding her hands behind her back.

When Jenn pulled her hand away, Viyara had meant to say nothing, but the way she crossed her arms and that her voice trailed off … Something was wrong and she wanted to know what was going on. For a brief moment Viyara quickened her step to get slightly ahead of Jenn and then turned around and stopped in the middle of the corridor. “What’s wrong? Did I do something to upset you?” she asked with sincere concern in her voice and expression.

“Oh… no,” Jenn brought her hand up to the back of her head, embarrassed now. “Nothing you did, not really. I just don’t really do…” she brought her hands in front of herself and looked down at her hands, her face feeling warm, “hand touching…” She glanced around, glad there was no one else passing by. “That sort of thing, it makes my hands feel clammy and uncomfortable. With anyone. I wouldn’t even let my parents hold my hands as a kid.” She reached up to push her spectacles up, then slid her arms into a crossed position, giving Viyara a slightly nervous chuckle.

Viyara smiled warmly at Jenn, hoping to ease the other woman’s discomfort. “We all have things we don’t like. Parts of our body we don’t want anyone or only certain people to touch or only in the right moment or a special way. So no hand touching it is,” she said gently and then continued, “I’m sorry I did something you don’t like. And I’m sorry if I ever forget in the future. I don’t always stop to think before I act or say something.”
Turning again so she was facing in the same direction as Jenn, Viyara started walking towards the Arboretum again. After a moment or two she asked in a low voice so that only Jenn would hear, “Is there anything else you don’t like? Or maybe something you like a lot?”
