Calm down, dearie! My dearest Heta! I am some one who can read silences of the reacting sort and yes, you don't really need words to tell me but I can see your expression, alright! I wrote the chapters DAMMIT!! You think I won't feel a thing when writing them? Like I told someone last night, I have to take a cold bath before I can return to write a sane chapter!
And Soul, you think Kushi was thinking clearly when he touched her that way? Think back...she had an almost scare of falling from the stepladder, her staggered realization that the man she missed was holding her in his arms, her utter confusion as to his intentions in wanting to wash her hands HIMSELF, how she is affected by his touch that she can't think sanely...
If it was the General, she would have moved her hand away. But think of the forest scene, and the dreams she had of him and how much she realized she missed him. She feels different and not scared around him. She knows she can trust his touch but she does not know what that touch is capable of...
Darn! I hate explaining! Coz I totally spoil the FEEL when I explain, Its you readers who have to do the explaining and analyses!!
But I am so glad I could answer this for you, dear Soul.
