[Yeah it doesn't matter much when she's still so wound up that it's hard to get a read sometimes - even moreso because Ouse can't use her Glance or anything else tied to it to inform her decisions much. Sure, the sixth sense is like a cousin to true Empathy powers, but it's still not quite right.

Twitterpated though Ouse actually is, Rei does still make her a little nervous.

Except when she's being cuddly like this, and then it's easy to forget what about her makes Ouse nervous.... and she doesn't feel as obligated to hold herself back. Maybe today she'll get a little more comfortable. After the cake, which, as she notes, is probably ready to be put in the oven soon.] I look forward to that time, as well... but... I also look forward to our time here, as well. And I want to be someone that can continue to be a support and source of comfort for you as well. It may be a bit difficult because of how I have lived my life thus far, but I'm here to stay by your side, no matter how that entails me doing as such.

[She turns, reaches over to gently cup the side of Rei's head and pull it in close... mostly so she can plant a gentle little kiss right there to the side.] Now... I think this cake needs to be put in the oven before I get too distracted by how wonderful you are.
