The air seems to stir and ripple as he moves. It's as if the connection between them is so strong that it has the force to divert the very particles that stand between them. The chill that spreads across her body seems to be evidence of that, and for a moment Iso's mind is blissfully diverted as she contemplates whether such a thing could be possible. This respite, as with the last, is hardly enough.

He is moving.

He is lowering

He is --

Her mind goes blank as his fur brushes against her. Stupidly she tries to remind herself that this isn't the first time they have touched, however her body disagrees. Fire and ice erupt across her shoulder and flank, and for the brief moments in which they are not touching - as he adjusts himself and settles - a horrificly deep and tangible longingness spreads out thickly across her body and mind. (come back. be near. be--) and then he is at her side again and her heart flutters to think that a new magic has passed between the two. Surely it is magic, for she can feel and hear his pulse and the beat of his heart. Everything about him is in stark focus, while the rest of the world has faded away. Crisply she can make out each hair on his jaw, as well as the curve of his eyelashes, and yet she has no idea how much time has passed. A blizzard could be forming and her body would still feel on fire - she's sure of it.

(look at me)

(don't look at me)

(It isn't big enough-- no it's perfect. no one else will fit. he's the only one who will use it..)

Then he is speaking - and puzzle pieces form in her mind as she begins to nod in agreement. earth and water and-- internally her smile fades, and the muscles of her face are forced to artificially create the expression. (he was talking about the hottub you idiot). Of course he was. They fit in the hottub. Not in any other way. 

"Yes." She agreed, clearing her throat and resisting the urge to angrily pull away from him. Inwardly her mind began to reel, trying to understand why his (perceived) lack of interest and/or her misinterpretation of his words was having such a negative effect. She felt cold and hostile suddenly. Part of her wanted to leverage her magic to thrust him from the pool, while the other part wanted to press herself against him, and slyly suggest how his statement could have otherwise been perceived. 

Her mind drowns in these thoughts, but immediately the waters calm as his body brushes once more against hers. (harder this time? it isn't intentional...[yes it is]). Unlike Volterra, the girl abhors physical contact. Normally it repels her, and yet now, part of her wishes that they could stay like this forever - mirroring the thoughts that float through his mind. Unlike him however, the girl has no where to be. And so when he articulates his intention to go, she is suddenly plummeted back into a cascade of doubt. The touching was unintentional, she realizes that now. Perhaps she was the one who leaned against him this last time and not the other way around. 

Was he leaving because of that? The girl would likely do precisely the same were she in his position. If she was crammed in a hole in the ground with someone pressing themselves against her, she would find a reason to leave (but she wasn't now, was she). But he was.

"Me too-" She says hurridly, eager to be far, far away from the confusing battle between her mind telling her that she has horribly misinterpreted this whole situation, and her body not giving 2 fucks about what her mind has to say. She knows what she feels, but her mind is quick to bury it.

The girl values truth above all else, but in this, she can't bear the possibility that she is wrong.

He felt nothing.

But she did.

That truth is too devastating to come to light. 

Immediately her body pulls away from his as it shrinks and dwindles into her raven form. The change is quick, but without her usual grace, for embarrassment hastens the change. Into the sky she flees, and is quickly no more than a black smudge on an otherwise perfect day.
