[Siffrin just blinks for a moment at the gentle, idle touch, expression owlish. It bring a tinge of shade to their face, which is frankly stupid after how long Isabeau just spent with his hands in their hair, but it is what it is.
...It's nice, though. Siffrin really, really likes the fact that Isabeau isn't avoiding touching him anymore. They smile softly, glancing away before the fond eye contact can get too overwhelming.]
Honestly, I think she only pretends to be annoyed most of the time.
[Can't let anyone know about her soft mushy center, etc etc.
...Glancing back up at Isabeau, they have a thought, and an accompanying moment of bravery. That might have been enough in other circumstances, but Isabeau is stupidly tall and that complicates things. And the idea of just grabbing his color and yanking him down is a little to reminiscent of That, and thinking about That just makes them feel guilty and embarrassed and it is not conducive to feeling brave right now so they quickly banish the thought.]
Hey, can you...uh...?
[Cheeks darkening another shade, they tug on Isabeau's hand gently to indicate he should lean down.]
