Bella likes gentle little nibbles. Most especially on the neck. And the insides of her wrists. If he's being thorough about his empiricism.

He is being thorough as fucking hell! Bella can have all the gentle little nibbles her heart desires.

This might be a large number!

It's not like they're short on time!

It is not. Indeed it is not. Snuggle snuggle squirm happy little noises.

+I love you,+ he says again, hugging her and nuzzling her shoulder.

+You're cute.+

+So are yoooooou,+ he says, and kisses her somewhere in the jawline area.

"Mmmm." Bella squirms closer. This proves topologically difficult. She does it anyway.

Awwwwww she is cute, he is going to snuggle her some more now.

Bella's gonna nibble on his ear. It's right there.

"Mmmm," says Brilliance. "That is nice. I like that."

+Oh good.+ Nibble nibble squirm pet.

+Cause if we did, where would we get our food and shelter and music and whatnot?+

+Okay, point,+ he concedes, snuggling her. +It's just so much fun.+

+I am glad you are enjoying yourself.+

+Yeah, so'm I,+ he giggles.

Snuggle nibble sigh.

Snuggle snuggle snugggggggggle snuggle mmmmmm.

Kisses kisses, let there be no forgetting the kisses.

Bella's still wearing shoes too. That's dumb when one is on a picnic blanket for any purpose at all. She toes them off. And is half-helpful half-obstructive with the pants project.

Help and obstruction are pretty much equally welcome, as long as they both involve her touching him! Snuggly.

Snuggly indeed. It is an obnoxious feature of topology that two convex solids cannot be in complete surface contact. She is going to try to route around that annoying bit of math, like so.
