He's ticklish, if she investigates too much he'll squirm.

"-sorry." She can put her hands flat... or something of that nature. How is one supposed to investigate abs...

Flat hands seems to help, if imperfectly.

She apologizes each time she messes up and accidentally tickles him. In-between the kissing, that is.

"That's okay," he giggles.

"If you say so," she giggles back.

More kisses. Kisses till he feels almost okay. Whereupon he will oblige himself to slow down and make sure she has lots of openings to call a halt.

During some openings Lucette feels her mind start to wander but what if instead it didn't and she could keep kissing Haru.

Well, if she feels she might as well get away with a sheep as a lamb he's not complaining, they can zero him out like this.

Lucette is happy with this plan.

"Thank you," he says eventually. "All better."

Oh yes, there was a reason they were doing this.

"You are welcome."

"Do you want button related help as long as we're here?"

"Um."

Lucette looks down.

"-oh.... I'm not wearing clothes." 

When she looks back up at him her face is bright red.

"...sorry, I should've - been more - circumspect -"

"-about my not wearing any clothes?"

"About coming on to you in the first place."

"... I'm not entirely certain I know why you think that and also maybe I should be wearing clothes. Of some sort."

She can at least shrug on her shift.

"Well, normally I wouldn't do it, because I'd expect it to - offend you and be risky toward your life goals - and then I got myself into a pickle and did it anyway, and I apologize."

"I don't think you are likely to offend me and you did not do so in these circumstances.... I suppose it is possible that this might complicate my eventual marriage, though... given that it already occurred once, it is not obvious the second time makes it worse. And your well-being seems important as well."

"Once I was holding your hand I was no longer in long term danger, I'm never suicidal while in guiding range."

"I was never in long term danger when you did similar things for me."

"I certainly hope that's true but you were pretty impaired and we're going by your guess about the prognosis and how that interacted with anything else that happened."

"I suppose so."

"... I'm not very good at thinking about.... doing these sorts of activities. But I don't find myself regretting this at all."

"I'm glad of that, at least."
