[ STRONG. ] ── their hands were made for hearty work, whether it be war or craftmanship ; long flexible fingers to wrap around the handle of a weapon or tool, a rough, coarse palm, bloodied and bruised by their work. thin, glistening lines coat the back of their hands, a constellation of accidents from days gone by. they’re insufferably warm, the heat of their soul sets their skin ablaze, almost burning as they graze their fingertips across your bare shoulders.

[ DELICATE. ] ── swift and slender, these hands are those of an artist, made to pluck at the tender strings of a lyre, to scrawl across the pages of a book, stained with spilt ink. there’s a melodic nature to the way they move, watching them hone their craft is an art itself (deft fingers wrap themselves around a paintbrush, a quill, strum against their instrument, and its almost hypnotic.) their touch is gentle, feather-like, and the softness as they wipe their fingers across your cheek makes you shiver.

[ HAND. ] ── it’s a soft gesture of intimacy, something they can hide behind the excuse of social politeness ; they enjoy it more than they’d ever let you know, it’s all too clear when you watch them carefully (the flutter of their lashes against their upper cheekbone, the soft stroke of their thumb against the span of your knuckles, their gentle smile as they raise your hand up and up and up──). its a sweet, tender comfort to feel the heat of your palm warm against their cold, lithe fingers.

[ FOREHEAD. ] ── they care very little for the opinions of others and none dictate their affections but themselves ; it’s a rather quick, but no less gentle or loving display. their knees bend lightly, hand smoothing out against the crook where your jaw and neck meet, thumb pressing into your soft flesh and angling the crown of your head upwards to meet their lips. the warmth of their mouth tingles pleasantly against your skin and the smell of your hair lingers with them for the remainder of the day.

[ CHEEK. ] ── this perhaps, is the least subtle ; they’ll brush their fingers gently across your face before tucking a strand or two of loose hair behind your ear, pressing their lips against your cheek while whispering something they know only you’ll hear. it’s a playful, flirtatious notion and they enjoy hearing your squawk of laughter no matter how many times they’ve used the same, silly joke.
