She’d grown accustomed to the more relaxed interactions between them so this sharp snap of posture and reply had her mirroring him. She stood as tall as her form allowed, back straight and hand pulling back to her side, until his own touched it.
Only his trained attention to detail would allow him to catch her near silent intake of breath at the contact. Her skin was smooth, like marble, untanned with their cold, snowy location. His hand, the hand of flesh and blood felt cool to her warmed skin. He had just come in from the outside, but it felt almost as though that was part of him, part of the aptly named Winter Soldier.
They broke away swiftly, such contact was not allowed. Perhaps never explicitly stated, the implication was there, operatives were not to fraternize. She had never even desired it before, but now, event hat brief contact had made her cheeks flush with rosy color. Demurely her head bowed and she moved back from him, her hands folded in front of her to maintain conscious control of them.
“I am sure you will perform more than adequately.” But why then was she so concerned over his return? “I will continue my training as you have instructed to this point. Unless you have further instructions for me to take on my own.” She dared look up at him then, she wanted him to say something but she had no idea what, she wanted…she wanted…
“I will miss you.” But that was nor right to say. “I will miss your instruction, I have advanced greatly because of it, I am thankful to you for it.”
