[ This feeling... it's warm and cool at the same time, but calm... with an undercurrent of protectiveness...? She feels safe in its embrace, which has to be why she hasn't pulled her hands away yet. In any case, she definitely feels better...
Finally, she almost opens her mouth to apologize for apologizing so much, but catches herself just in time—except she doesn't know what to say instead. She supposes that underneath everything he's also trying to tell her that she doesn't have to be so nervous around him—or at all.
It's easier said than done. For her, it's a force of habit to say sorry—she's so shy that she strives to make herself as unobtrusive as possible, to make as few waves as she can. She wishes she could be bolder... that she didn't worry so much about what other people thought of her... that she could be more of herself even around strangers.
But... baby steps. Maybe this is her chance to try. ]
Heehee, sorry... [ There's an undercurrent of humor in her voice, her smile curving like she's aware of the irony of an apology for too many apologies. She's so silly... but her spirits are buoyed, at least. ] I'll try.
