disbelief is written all over her features. this had to be some kind of joke. right? right. she couldn’t possibly believe that a cold, slimy amphibian who displayed absolutely no emotions at all would want a kiss, much less that delphine would be willing to administer one. a step would be taken in the opposite direction, appendages rising defensively, palms turned outwards & towards the dame.

No, she doesn’t expect unfamiliar dame to lay even the tip of her finger upon the amphibian—-the action of containing a wide grin proving difficult as reaction seeps from the other’s person. It’s entertaining, to say the least, how the most insignificant of actions could bother an individual so much.
There’s no harm she assumes, and thus does the spare nod in agreement.
