Kiss their hands

[trackeds]

kiss their hand

A character takes the hand of another and kisses it as a mark of respect. Used to portray the character as particularly romantic, chivalrous, foreign, or just a bit old-fashioned.

( modified from here. )

Why stick with the cliché? The subdued? The modern? Go big or go home, we say! There's nothing wrong with reaching out, taking someone's hand — and laying a sweet kiss right on the back of it (or on their palm, their finger, their wrist...)! You just know you'll leave an impression. So, whether in a polite yet platonically old-fashioned greeting, a sworn oath, a hope to sweep them off their feet, a measure of comfort, or anything in between, drop to one knee and kiss the ring.

Ring optional.

How to Play

- Reply to others.
- Your character is kissing their hand. Or getting a hand kissed. Whichever!

[There's a brief, quicksilver moment, eyes slightly too squinted and fingers slightly twitched toward his (admittedly empty) belt, before the apprentice's face relaxes toward an almost-smile.

The tug of ka at the back of his mind doesn't call for the polite tap of fingers to throat. Cuthbert bends himself into a respectful bow, leg forward in the fashion folk far from home seemed to find quaint. Reaching in the bend for the other's hand is an impulse, dragging knuckles to his forehead and then briefly to his lips before standing proper again.]
