Everyone's allowed a bit of self deception at times. Like about why he even owns the clothes he is wearing.

Hair pets? Jing Yi thinks she should get hair pets.

Whimper. 

Oh that is a very good sound. Leia should make it more.

Jing Yi is looking at her like he's actually attracted to her which is... weird and not at all what she's used to.

She imagines she's a version of herself from an alternate universe, one where she was born without the horrible thing between her legs. It's a very plausible daydream. In that world maybe she'd come to love this person from the past with a beautiful smile, and they could have something sweet and lovely and not as sordid as this is.

She kisses his shoulder.

This is already very much like a daydream for Jing Yi. Someone who is willing and interested and adorable and also a stranger from somewhere with very different norms. Who sees him dressed like this and calls him beautiful and doesn't question why he owns this. 

Shoulder kisses are Very Good. The sound he makes is technically not a whimper, but it's very close.

Mm.

Gentle shoulder bites?

Gentle shoulder bites! An inspired choice.

The noises are definitely more whimper shaped.

... ... ... 

harder shoulder bites?

"You have a really good smile."

"I think you give me a fair run for my money."

"I think my smile is mostly considered goofy."

"Whoever has said that has--" a kiss for punctuation "--incredibly bad taste."

It turns out that when you give Leia compliments you get happy wiggles. 

Oh he is definitely filing that away to take advantage of. "You're adorable both in bed and explaining how to prevent smallpox."

This produces both happy wiggles and tiny happy sounds. 

Oh no, it's a cuteness overload! He's just going to have to hug her tighter about it.

"I don't know what kind of things you like."

To be anonymous

To be unknown, to have the other person not know who I am and not care. No reputation or standard to uphold

To be dressed like this and it's fine, the other person also is and doesn't have a leg to stand on to complain

People making high pitched squeaky noises.

"Is 'you in my arms' far too cheesy?"

"It's cute."

Also Leia is not good at people but that is definitely a lie.

"...kissing?"

On impulse, she says, "I like makeup videos."

Look, a conversational life raft! One he doesn't understand, but he is still grabbing it!

"...videos of the make up by itself, or of people putting it on...?"

"They have videos of-- people pretending to put makeup on you-- and if you full-screen it it feels like they actually are-- it helps people go to sleep for some reason? But I. Jerk off watching them. Because I like thinking about people putting makeup on me. Getting to be pretty."

"--I can see how that would appeal."

"I think most people think it's ridiculous."
