"Would you prefer to watch tv while being gross?"

Leia should very much be petted, but if they're feeling gross than Jing Yi will be good and sit on his hands about it.

"We could talk about science."

"I'm always up for more Science."

You know what the good thing about science is?

It absolutely doesn't matter what you look like.

Science is also very useful! Science is great.

There is some slow slow inching closer, in case context is okay now? But there are definitely glaciers that move faster.

If He Fails To Acknowledge This It's Not Happening

Veeeeeeery tentative leg touch?

He doesn't acknowledge the leg touch but he also doesn't move away from it.

Well this is awkward. He was kind of expecting some sort of reaction? And then he could work out if more touching was welcome, but, uh. No dice.

(There's also the awkwardness of someone teaching you science while they are clothed and you are very naked.)

Slight increase in the leg touch? Is that welcomed?

It is determinedly ignored but also he loses his train of thought for ten seconds.

Good train of thought loss? Bad train of thought loss? He has no idea. He's just-- going to go with his gut, and his gut says 'Hugs?'

Full leg and hip contact, combined with questions about the science?

...Quiet gasp.

"...I can move back if you want to?"

Why does he have to acknowledge that this is happening.

"It's fine."

These signal are so mixed.

Not that he's going to move. "You're very huggable."

"Most people disagree with you."

"As said before, most people have bad taste." He leans his head on their shoulder. "You're warm and squishy."

"Generally considered a bad thing in the digital age! At least the squishy part."

"Then they do not value hugs enough."

"And you do, I suppose."

"I have the Objectively Correct Opinions on everything." More nuzzling.

"...what's the objectively correct opinion on me?"

"Very adorable and smart."

He has a very doubtful expression.

"You aren't allowed to doubt your smart! That's objective!"
