[This is nice. Petra is sure Ferdinand must have his reasons for warning her of the machines' wishes for them, but right here, right now? She's wrapped up in strong arms, yet being touched so gently, sharing a warm moment with a trusted companion.

If that's what the machines wish to ask of her, then she wants to take that first step of her own free will, when and with whom she chooses. And as Ferdinand leans so tantalizingly close, the reasons not to close this distance as well grow fewer and fewer. Petra leans into Ferdinand's touch as she tips her head back, claiming his lips with a confidence that belies her inexperience. She can figure it out as they go, can't she?]
