A soft, nearly inaudible sound of surprise eased past the Lunari's lips when she felt his fingers coiling around her own. And despite the wild pulse of her leylines, the obvious increase of her heartbeat right along with them, and the previously mentioned heat and unbearable itching of her skin... She did not pull away from him. Maybe she should have, but that desire for closeness was not, perhaps, entirely involuntary, and though they had just met Caduceus was a rather comforting presence if she ignored all the unfortunate outside influence. After a moment she squeezed his hand gently, as if to indicate that she did not mind it.

"Indeed." She agreed. Having to deal with this so soon after arriving was...overwhelming, to say the least. Though if her assumptions were correct, maybe she would have done well suggesting they sit in silence until the feeling vanished. or maybe she should have just left entirely as to not burden him with this unfortunate issue. But she didn't do that - and now she was here, with him holding her hand and whispering in her ear, her eyes wide, a full body shiver shooting through her when she felt the faint brush of his lips over the pointed tip. Oh. No.

"I cannot deny the feeling." She countered once she took a deep breath and gathered herself, teeth chewing at the inside of her cheek. She was practically radiating heat now, flustered as she was. "So I do not believe it a joke. Besides... you are very handsome, and so far incredibly kind. Surely you do not truly believe yourself unappealing." Like... for real.
