The touch brings Will back to the physical present and somewhat out of his thoughts. He should be here, anyway. He's spent too long overthinking everything.

Taking the cue, he slides his hands up Rosinante's chest to his shoulders. It's not quite a hug, but it's in the same ballpark, right? Though maybe chest-touching is too forward here. This isn't a quick, meaningless encounter, he can't rush it. He can't do the things he normally would. It feels like relearning a language.

"I seem to have the opposite problem. People get to know me and they don't enjoy the experience." Is it self-deprecating humor if you're blaming it on everyone else? "Pity. Seems we'll have to meet in the middle somewhere. Which is just as well— I'm interested in learning both sides of you, too."

Too flirtatious? Too close to an innuendo? This should be the easy part, so why is it so difficult?
