"You're tense. That gives things away," she comments, tilting her head to watch his hand again. He's infinitely more gentle with things than she would be even with herself. And while she knows it's coming from effort on his part, she doubts that relaxing is going to end with her arm in a vice grip. Short of saying something with the intention of angering him, she knows she's fine in his hands. "You'll have more practice under your belt after this."
The comment is somewhat teasing as her fingers curl to rest on his arm, her gaze following the move to begin on the other burn on her arm as she listens to him, slightly distracted by the brush of his fingers against her arm. The touch shouldn't earn a second thought, but it does and it's cause to make her forcibly return herself to what's being said.
"I'm sure he tries because he likes you." That much seems obvious about any of the people Shizuo mentions and she's sure he knows it. She gives it a moment before she continues, looking up at him again as she arches an eyebrow at him. "Does he irritate you every time you end up there? If you ruin cups because of what he's saying, he should know better, shouldn't he?"
The burn on her leg is left as it is as they talk, the towel she was handed still resting over it to keep it cool as she allows Shizuo to focus on her arm. It's something she can get to afterward, when there's more space between them again.
