And as the half-elf girl embraced her, the elven woman embraced the girl.  They stayed like that for a few minutes, and it was a rather nice way to spend said minutes, in Shaera's opinion.  Everybody needed to cry at some point in their life, and no doubt she would feel much better afterwards.  And in the meantime, the elf got to feel the contours of that warm body pressing up against her...<br/><br/>"Just that you don't try to hide your emotions in the future."  The Valenar elf responded, when asked if she had any other requests.  "You're a lot more beautiful when you're being honest about how you feel."<br/><br/>And then, quick as a flash, she closed the distance that the half-elf had put between them, leaning in just to give the girl a single kiss...  And then giving her a little space again, to see how she would react.
