Still, it wasn't as if she'd actually done any of those things, so she felt pretty safe.<br/>Thankfully, thinking about it was quite legal, otherwise she'd be in a lot of trouble.<br/><br/>Her mind and her body, as always, seemed to be operating under two quite separate directions, though, and what had been intended purely as a movement to get some food ended up as a long, slow brush of her feathers against Riku's side as she reached for the little bit of food.<br/>She still got the food, luckily and, without saying anything about the accidental contact, set about eating it with rather more concentration than was needed.
