[tense, but doesn't pull away further; is probably unconsciously leaning in a bit, actually]
I know. And I want to--hold you, and stuff, especially after...
[she trails off. then reaches out with her other hand--hesitates before lightly brushing the metal and silicone over Req's arm instead. this is science,]
[Squeezes Req's forearm with her right hand, and then with her left--switches arms, to see if that does anything. Peers close to make sure there's no bruising or swelling or heat or scent change--nothing really--different]
Like a... lil draw board thing that you twist the knobs to doodle...
[ it's the same on either arm; no swelling, no difference in skin, no pain or other notably change, only the shimmering gold left in the wake of her flesh-and-bone touch.
with the more experimental touches, they seem to start fading a little faster; the color on her face from earlier is already gone. ]
[she trails off, instead writing clumsy scribbles down Req’s arm with a warm finger; trailing across Req’s tummy to her other arm, looking for any differences in the canvases]
[ it's all pretty uniform everywhere, even if this seems to start fading a little quickly than some of the other patches of gold-- she squirms a little, ticklish, with an awkward laugh, her cheeks warming. ]
[concern fading more to confusion with this development, especially since Req seems to be reacting normally. she presses both hands lightly to Req's sides, fingers splayed, then pulls back to see the result]
...I mean. You're sure it don't feel funny? --It don't do anything when you touch yourself?
[ shivers a little, shifting forward at the touch and looking a little disappointed when she pulls back; it leaves two perfect handprints in gold, predictably. ]
[she'd half expected only one, and purses her lips, attempting to work out the logic of it all. pauses longer, then wraps her arms around Req in a loose embrace; pulls away enough to examine if there's prints from her forearms against Req's hips]
You think you're magnetized?
[Taps the metal against Req's belly again, to see if it'll stick; lightly grabs for Req's wrist to see if she can wipe away the gold marks with touches from Req's own hands, again not just an excuse but that part's a feature not a bug]
[ only meant one handprint, i can't read, etc. the forearms are the same; only a smear of color from the flesh one. She's looking... pretty coated in gold now, even if some of the older touches are slowly fading.
patiently putting up with all the manhandling and experimentation, brows creased with amusement. ]
[either way she is working it out, expression eventually smoothing. when she goes up on tiptoes to press kisses to Req's clavicles, one on each side, her expression is almost pleased when she pulls back to look]
Well...if you want me to draw something, I will. Guess we don't gotta stand around here to do it.

Re: 268 post-boss fights
The metal doesn't leave any marks at all, even with pressure. ]
It'd really suck if you didn't just cuz I turned into an etch-a-sketch.

Wait...

Nah, I meant that's how etchysketch works.
