THIS BRINGS A SOFT SMILE across her features. She
     had expected to be harshly told that slight gestures
     like the one she had just did had became unappreciated
     to Zed… Knowing that he was fine with her somewhat
     acting the way they once did in their youth added a slight
     warmth in her heart – One she wouldn’t soon be forgetting.

     Small fingers find their way back to the top of his head,
     looking up as the short and gentle pats begin again. Even
     if their past was no longer something he could touch bases
     on, he still allowed her to – and, that’s what really meant
     something to her.

     [ ‘ Thank you. ’ ] Her free hand signs before him.
