honestly giving and receiving affection is pretty similar? it's touch and personal time. those are how she finds herself getting real, genuine feelings for someone and never fails to just make her melt. i do think jester is really big on giving gifts though. she could care less about receiving them back. a kiss on the temple, or a hand held... that gets her. quick and easy.

     “there was a time i thought... you might not make it without me.”   in more than one sense. she’d been afraid for him, but she had held onto it — because it meant she had something to give.

     knowing that time is over makes her happy, but sad, too. there’s pride on her face, which has nothing to do with her role as a mother, and resentment that has everything to do with once having lived too long and too close with someone you love, and saying goodbye because you had to, before you were ready. and there’s love.

     she leans forward, so their faces are as close as her halfling height and his stooping allow, and her brown hand rests on his pale cheek. above all, there’s love.
