It isn't real touch, but her fingertips seem to tingle when she thinks that. Relative. She half-smiles all to herself, though she thinks he wouldn't be unhappy to see it.
And then she feels her face grow very hot at his question. Thank the lord, thank all the gods that she's too dark to show a blush!]
Well, it's that - a young lady with a man that she has this connection with, all by themselves -
[Kesara knows what sex is. She's not all that embarrassed by it as a concept. But this is Zach.]

And then, it's just awkward. Zach scratches his throat, trying his best not to laugh and not doing the best job at it.]
The world we live in, Kes - Steph and I, I mean, it's very different from yours. It's a lot less...there are less rules, about this. We're both adults - [consenting adults, but Zach isn't sure he wants to get into that -] and we're - I mean. Basically, we don't really have all of these thoughts on virtue and good standing and all this stuff. And - and the two of us being together, it doesn't take anything from Steph. It doesn't make her...I don't know what you'd call it, really, but it doesn't.
[Why is this his life, why, why.]

[Kesara blurts that out rather quickly, not because she doesn't believe it, but because she's still trying to come to grips with making her face stop feeling like it could melt the Norfinbury snow. Lord, Zach is laughing now. He's explaining all those things that would be terribly interesting maybe if they weren't also to do with all those other things that she is not supposed to be thinking about. Because if Zach has to explain then he and Steph are very very definitely no longer virtuous or in good standing and the more she thinks about it the more she feels like her brain is trying to flee to safety out through her ears.]
So - [She clears her throat and thinks about the important issues at stake here. Just the important ones.] It's, it's quite all right, I suppose, as long as it doesn't spoil her future prospects for marriage, I mean, I think you ought to marry her but it wouldn't be very good if you had to because she was in the, the family way and you would have to be - I mean.
[Please save her from this conversation, Responsible Adult.]
no subject
It takes him a while, but he sobers up, looking back at the camera with tears of laughter in his eyes.]
Okay, okay, sorry, it's just - okay. Nothing is spoiling her anything, okay, nobody's in the family way as you so delicately put it, so you don't have to worry about any of it, all right?
[Seriously, small child, stop talking about sex and marriage and pregnancies. Just. Don't. Kiddo. Come on. Don't do it.]
You just. Worry about your pass and all that, alright? I promise you, we're good, here. No spoiling of prospects.
no subject
Kesara is bad at not worrying about things.]
But you have to be careful of it! Because if she were, can you imagine a baby here? You'd have to find a crib - I saw one in this house, I have it in my notes - it also had some toys and other things, so it might not be so hard, but I think there was a ghost in that house and who knows how a ghost baby would feel about sharing. I shouldn't like to share my things if I were a ghost and someone else was putting a live baby in my crib.
[This is clearly going off-topic. Which is perhaps not such a bad thing considering the topic.]
I will try not to worry. Only, be careful, Zach. Think about that poor ghost baby.
no subject
Let me swear to you, Kesara, that nobody is getting pregnant. That ghost baby can keep its stuff, okay? I swear.
