[ slam dunks them in the selfie booth, where yuzuriha will waste no time trying to drape herself on shenhe. yes, she may get roundhouse kicked forreal this time! yes, she will still risk it all for SKINSHIP! it's touch week!!! ]
Apparently, you're supposed to say "cheese" when you have your picture taken!
[oh boy well okay listen, it startles the shit out of her, i will say that. shenhe tenses up and goes absolutely still like she's having a prey response, honestly. it takes a second for her to loosen up, bit by bit - her limbs are all locked up, and she has to make an effort to unlock.
... it's not that it's bad, because she finds she doesn't hate touch, but her reaction is in fact violence that she has to smother.
[ at least yuzuriha has the sense to hold still while shenhe adjusts to the sudden invasion of space. (but not the sense to let go—weirdly, this impulse overrides survival instinct!) ]
You know... I have absolutely no idea.
[ why IS it cheese? she ponders, as she raises her phone to capture a picture of them. ]
she is familiar with pictures though! her world is bonkers in the way that cameras exist but phones do not. she'll let yuzuriha take a picture of her but she does not smile, she just stares deadeyed into the camera.]
well, listen, she's trying to behave herself by not hurting people because she made some promises but this is instinct. yuzuriha kisses her on the cheek and shenhe's instinct is to try and throw her ass across the room, goodbye.
she does it before she can really stop herself, even if she knows it's bad behavior.]
yuzuriha blinks and finds herself flying across the room. i rolled a 6, so she does not stick the landing... fortunately the selfie room is pretty small, so it's not like she flew too far. she smacks into the wall with an ow!, but manages to get back on her feet.
far from the worst hit she's taken, though she's... well, maybe she shouldn't be surprised, but touch week sure throws everything off! ]
Easy! I'm not trying to hurt you, Shenshen.
[ also yuzuriha should apologize because she really did bring this upon herself, but, ]
[well, fortunately for yuzuriha, shenhe is actually about as mortified as she can get about this? which is not very, she doesn't really emote all that well, but she is actually embarrassed.
she stands, and moves across the room briskly to rest her hands on yuzuriha's arms.]
No - I know. [:c] I'm... sorry. I try to avoid hurting people who don't deserve it.

... it's not that it's bad, because she finds she doesn't hate touch, but her reaction is in fact violence that she has to smother.
her tone is a little strangled when she replies:]
... Why cheese?
no subject
You know... I have absolutely no idea.
[ why IS it cheese? she ponders, as she raises her phone to capture a picture of them. ]
—You're supposed to smile, too.
[ who's fault is it that she's not smiling... ]
no subject
Hm. I don't feel like it. [nyeh!!!
she is familiar with pictures though! her world is bonkers in the way that cameras exist but phones do not. she'll let yuzuriha take a picture of her but she does not smile, she just stares deadeyed into the camera.]
no subject
Why? Do you hate my company that much, Shenshen?
[ fake whiny noises! she cheerfully takes the picture of them anyway, lineface and all. heh. ]
Well, you look pretty even when you're not smiling.
[ (yuzuriha's known about cameras herself for less than a week and has already gone mad with power) ]
no subject
-- Thank you. I don't hate your company. [she's a little worried that yuzuriha is being serious because she's so bad at social cues...]
no subject
but yuzuriha will try to steal a smeck on the cheek ]

Are you alright?
no subject
getting mixed messages ]
No, no. I shouldn't have made you uncomfortable. I'm okay, really.
[ she will try to hold shenhe's hands very lightly, to let her know she's not upset with her or anything ]
If it's okay to ask... [ she's gonna ask... ] Is this... part of your curse or something?
no subject
... A little. [but mostly:] My reflexes are faster than my mind, sometimes. I've never - um.
[a beat. she's still vaguely embarrassed.] Nobody has done that to me before.
no subject
[ she briefly looks like she's reminded of something, but her attention quickly moves back to shenhe. like, so quickly. ]
...I hope you don't take this the wrong way, Shenshen, but I can tell.
[ she laughs a little ]
no subject
I suppose it's obvious. [bunsweat]
