[Bren's heart had not stopped its racing and looking up at Essek, seeing him in this new casual attire, looking so perfectly at home, softer than the harder angles of the night before. It made him want to reach out and trace his fingers along that bared shoulder, see if all his skin was as chill as his hands had been, and as soft.

I think so too. They are nicer than anything I've worn before. Thank you for allowing me the use of them.
[It was nice to dress in actual clothes, to wake up warm and not starving. All of this was far too nice really.
But none of that was remotely as nice as the fingers tucking his hair away behind his ear. Bren stilled before half turning into that touch, pulled like a magnet.]
I am eager to see it!
[As Essek stepped back, Bren found himself immediately stepping forward as if to prolong that closeness, but stopped as Essek turned. Instead he fell into step following him along.]
