[ the little poke makes him want to laugh a little bit, gently amused, but he refrains just because he can tell this matters so much to siffrin. when the fingers rest over his palm, yves takes the initiative of gently letting his fingers curl over siffrin's. just a comfortable little hold, free to be escaped from at any moment if deemed unwelcome, but secure enough that makes yves' own confidence clear. ]
I'm pretty sure we were born with two hands for the explicit purpose of being able to multi-task in times like this.
[ so he'll wiggle the fingers on his other hand freely ]
And even if we have to let go, I can just reach for you again.
[ The initiative surprises him, as if they really didn't expect him to despite the clear confidence of it, and unfortunately comes with a bit of a flinch but. It's a gentle hold and despite the freedom to pull away.. Siffrin merely. rests their hand there.
It comes with a buzz. To feel the contact, to feel that warmth that belongs to another person, their next breath exhales. Solid. Real. ]
Oh. ..O-okay.
[ It's a bit strange to them to be in this position. With something so simple, something clearly Yves himself has no issues at all doing, but instead of creating distance he...
No, Siffrin decides not to think about it. Instead, amidst his bubbling fluster, he awkwardly points at the clothes with his free hand. ]
[ yves waits through the flinch - patiently. the fact that siffrin rested their hand in his is proof enough to him that they want to try, so he doesn't bother to get his feelings hurt over what seems to just be a reactionary surprise. ]
Clothes!
[ affirming, and yves will continue on smoothly as if nothing is different at all. he lifts his arm to show the selection: they're more dark shades of a deep blue and an assortment of grey and black, though there's the occasional accessory that's a pop of gold or white ]
I love looking through clothes, but they were a bit of an extra expense before. It's nice to not have to pay now, so we can play with anything we want.
[ Rather than make a big deal out of it or point it out any further, Yves continues on and Siffrin starts to relax. Even if he is vividly aware of their hand in his. It sends a tingle through their arm but it's.. pleasant. Nice. It's.. nice to be touched.
(Focus, Siffrin. Focus.) ]
..You weren't kidding about the dark shades. [ Said nicely though! It does seem like they suit him. But, with Yves' personality.. wouldn't lighter shades be nicer too? ]
We really would've been in a predicament if we were expected to have funds here. [ But, Yves seems to be having fun with the freedom of clothes, and that's enough for them. ] Adding a little light and darkless to all the dark shades huh?
[ Which they refer to be pointing at the occasional accessories Yves has. ]
