[Oh, right. Maybe...okay. Yeah. This...basically he was working with a virgin. He could deal with this.

He sighed, but it was directed at himself, not at Ren.]

Yes, you are going to get better. Because you're going to get practice. It's on me, not you.

[He squeezed his hand gently, before leaning in.]

You can touch me while you kiss me. With me, in privacy, you can touch me anywhere. It's a sliding scale for other people you kiss. But if you're ever not sure. You ask if you can touch them in that spot.

For example...

[He brought his other hand up, just hovering.]

Can I touch the back of your neck? You can always say no.
