Elke only had to make the offer once.  Rather than standing up, Halcyon simply turned in her own seat and pushed herself up on her hands to slide herself onto the more muscular woman's legs, setting herself sideways.  The delicate young woman, though only a few inches shorter than Elke herself, was so petite that she seemed to be more of a doll than a real person.<br/><br/>The soft, thin latex bodysuit Halcyon was wearing pulled the towel Elke was wearing askew, though not entirely off.  Without lifting her head she wrapped her slender arms about Elke's neck and lowered her cheek to one firm breast, eyes half closing.  She wriggled a little, settling her derriere between the hermaphrodite's legs, as yet unaware of the effect the sensation might have on her shipmate.  A distinct, strange little humming noise emerged from Halcyon's throat, not quite a purr, not quite a hum, a sort of atonal noise that seemed to indicate she was happy.<br/><br/>The girl listened to the thrumming murmur of Elke's heart, quicker than it ordinarily should have been.  She was unsure if it was a biological quirk due to home environment, or if she was having a reaction to allowing Halcyon on her lap.  Halcyon was aware that on occasion her presence had effects on people that increased their heart rate, and in some men had other physiological effects that she was sometimes required to deal with, but for the most part Elke seemed only a little out of sorts.  The stiffness of the female's nipples was most likely due to the chilling effect of being out of the shower.<br/><br/>Halcyon nuzzled the young Manlian lightly, and nestled her ear closer to the throbbing sound of her heart.
