Intimate... I see. Yes, I suppose that makes sense, with what little I know of the topic.

[Said as they lean back a liiiiittle bit more. Almost as if they're, you know, getting comfy. Putting their weight on her like they're looking to be held.

I must admit, I do not know how to do that beyond what you have shown to me... but I will try my best, should that be something you wish for.
