She shifted uncomfortably as Elke sat next to her, but she didn't retreat.  There was altogether too much ship behind her to make an effective retreat anyways.  Then the soft, warm lips pressed to her face, and that was also disconcerting.  It was more the breasts pressed to her body than the fact she was being kissed; she hadn't been kissed by an Elke before, but it was not a bad thing.<br/><br/>Halcyon held still as she was gently cleaned by Elke's affectionate licks, though her eyes slipped away every time the other woman's eyes focused on her own.  She couldn't help it.  The 'noise' of the electrochemical reactions going on inside Elke's head was 'bright' and unpleasant to the senses she possessed.  It was the same with any sentient - though not necessarily sapient - being larger than a small dog.  Then Elke's lips were pressed to her own, and this was a kiss she understood.  She kissed back affectionately, almost knowledgeably....until Elke's tongue slipped into her mouth.<br/><br/>Those bright blue-ice eyes got incredibly large, as she tasted Elke's tongue and the salty-slick heat it gave to her.  They stared up at Elke, one of the rare instances of her looking into anyone's eyes at all.  She jerked back, hard enough to pull out of the muscular girl's gentle grip.<br/><br/>....and promptly slammed the back of her head into the console she was sitting under.<br/><br/>Both her hands came up and she gripped the top of her head, eyes tightly shut.  "Ooouuuu...."  The soft noise was half moan and half word.  Bright crimson could be seen along one palm; she'd apparently cut herself.
