Valerie Bell is uncharacteristically pensive.

Possibly this is because she just lugged a woman with a bullet wound in her stomach all the way here from God only knows where.

Possibly not.

Either way, she's staring at a plateful of cookies with considerably more rapt attention than a plateful of cookies strictly warrants.

So, Val may possibly be grinning like a mad thing and letting herself be pushed down.

Maybe.

Marley laughs, a little, propping himself up on his elbows.

Val laughs back!

A tentacle wraps daintily around his head, tugging him down for a kiss.

She resists the obscure urge to make a look-ma-no-hands joke.

Marley appreciates no hands jokes, so he wouldn't mind too much, really.

Pity her mouth is kind of occupied, then.

Very true, very true.

Eventually, because Val firmly believes that patience is for other people, a glowing white tendril starts sneaking under Marley's shirt.

...

Glowing white tendrils don't sneak very well.

:D?

Marley chuckles a little, lifting one hand to play with Val's hair.

Playing with hair is good.

:D, goes Val.

Also ~, which is the ASCII way of saying 'hi Val's tentacle, meet Marley's chest'.

Marley approves of tentacles meeting chest, oddly enough.

There may be a hand moving down to slip under Val's shirt.

Val is trying so very hard not to make any hentai jokes.

Hard enough that his hand takes her by surprise, and she squeaks.

It's a good squeak.

Marley appreciates squeaking.

He takes a moment to experiment and see what might cause more amusing sounds.

Squeaks are a startlement thing, and therefore not repeated now that she's onto his little tricks.

She is, however, slightly ticklish. So if he happens to brush his hand across her ribs in just the right way, giggling will ensue.

It doesn't take long for Marley to brush his hand that way. There may be a small grin at the giggling.

Val grins back, another of her eloquent grins that transmit whole sentences without her ever having to engage her vocal apparatus.

This one says: 'Dammit, that wasn't funny, but I'm having way too much fun making out to get pissed at you over the little things... okay, and it kind of was funny, too. A little.'

Marley's grin is appropriately apologetic.

The next obvious step in the language of smiles is, of course, for Val to offer a grin that says 'quit sitting there like a smug idiot and kiss me already'.

Because she likes thwarting convention, she skips right past that and kisses him instead.

Hey, Marley's not exactly complaining.

Eeeeeeeeeexcellent.

Eventually, there are happy little noises.

(Eventually is not, in this case, a very long time at all.)

Yayhappynoises.

Marley is appreciative!

Val is appreciative of his appreciation.

Also, she is determined to elicit some happy noises of her own.

Does Marley like earlobe-nibbles? Inquiring minds want to know!

Studies say that he does!

Also, happynoises.

Success! Valerie is pleased.

Good things happen when Valerie is pleased.

Marley is discovering this, yes.

In detail and at length, if Val has any say in the matter - and she does.
