[ his smile isn't stuff, but something is still clinging to him, and inej is about to reassure him that it's fine when he catches her hand. and she blinks, almost unsure if she did something wrong when he kisses the palm of her hand.
it causes a slight pinkness to show in her cheeks, as she thinks to herself that she's never been kissed before. -- or, well, she has, but not because she wanted to be, and certainly not with any gentleness or care. the gentle press of his lips against her hand is so absurdly gentle and soft, almost shy, that her smile creeps upward, just a bit bigger.
she shifts her hand to press her palm against his cheek, running her thumb over his cheekbone before leaning forward, shifting up onto her knees just a bit to press her lips gently against his forehead.
