It was still new to her, kissing him, and for the time being her focus narrowed solely to that slow exploration, simply appreciating the sensations. Her breath caught but a little when she realized where he was going, and Raine made a very conscious decision to lean ever so fractionally into his touch. Her heritage, here, had only the weight she carried with her.

Strange, the feeling of his thumb against the point of her ear, but not unpleasant. Something Raine could get used to. Wanted the opportunity to get used to. "You knew I was a half-elf," she said against his mouth, not quite to laughing. The reappearance of 'Master Healer Sage' made her sure Solomon was teasing, one way or another, though why he'd chosen that of all things still escaped her.

Ordinarily she'd approve of such science, but in this instance it was better that it waited. She left one hand light against his chest, reached with the other to cup the back of his neck, thumb brushing over the corner of his jaw. For a moment she paused over his pulse, more thanks to the habit of seeking such things out than any actual intention. Still reassuring.
