Her heart is hammering so hard in her chest that she honestly wouldn't be surprised if it deafened her, as well. Gently catching one of Lakshmi's hands she leans down, carefully tilts the palm upwards so she can kiss the palm and then the inside of her wrist. "You already make me feel— much. I— I— um."

Talking is so fucking hard. Magni pauses, has to lick her lips to carry on. "I want you t-to uh— but I— I don't want you to think that you have to."

Just, just wants to say that. Wants to be clear, wants to make sure Lakshmi isn't acting out of obligation.
