The lip biting. The nervousness that she hadn't seen in her wife when it was the two of them alone for quite some time. It makes her heart hurt, the uncertainty, and she takes only a moment to quietly close the door behind her, and cross to the bed - takes Lakshmi's hand, and kneels in front of her rather than sitting beside her, so she can more easily look at her. At least for the moment this will do.
Very carefully, slowly, she kisses each of the knuckles on her Rani's hands, first left and then right, and then turns her gaze up towards her. If she holds her hands maybe it will save Lakshmi from her own fidgeting, her own nerves, at least on some level.
She adores this space, enjoys the little insights and treasures that it holds for Lakshmi, even if so much of it is still strange and unusual to her. She made no demands to know about it, just appreciated this separate, wonderful sanctuary Lakshmi kept for herself, hoped that someday more of this sanctuary could be found through Talonhold, so that she knew all places here were her home.
"You look frightened," she says, finally, cautiously.
