[ The closeness between them was nice, but Ferdinand hadn't expected more. The kiss takes him by surprise, and for the briefest of instants, he freezese in place, eyes wide with the realization of just what is happening.
But surprise does not mean dislike. Quite the opposite, really, as even without the Augur subtly guiding his thoughts, he would still admire her every bit as much. Once the surprise fades, he finds his lips pressing back into hers, his head craning to one side to deepen their kiss. He has experience, what with living on the island for the last year or so, but that doesn't mean that this doesn't feel new to him, like something he should savor.
His arms settle around that slender waist, his eyes drifting closed. It's only after several blissful seconds, perhaps even closer to a minute, that his lips pull back, but only just barely. His aim isn't to out any distance between them, but rather to simply catch his breath. ]
