pulls him into a kiss (😇)
g'raha is deep in concentration within the main hall when @sarastuss enters. he doesn't see her coming. not until she is already there. before he can react, she closes the distance and pulls him in. the book and quill slip from his hands and clatter to the floor. surprise flashes openly across his face. and then—- in the very next instant, far too quickly for a man absorbed in serious research—- whatever protest might have formed dies unspoken in his throat. he gives in, melting into the kiss as he returns it with ease. his eyes flutter shut, tension bleeding out of his shoulders all at once.
for someone so perpetually busy, so constantly moving from one task to the next, affection still has an alarming ability to halt him completely.
"…you know," he says, breathlessly flushed when they break free, "i was in the middle of proving a rather compelling theory." he's already leaning back in again, unable to help himself. "unfortunately, i can no longer remember any part of it."
