[It's interesting how so much can be said with so few words between the both of them. What played at strange before is more curious now, still not entirely expected but less concerning than before. He can't feel the sensation of fingers on his thigh, never through all of the cool metal, but the gesture is there and it brings with it a low, quiet questioning noise.
Weeks ago this had been something, but memories of experiences had been summarily regulated to the back of his mind, pushed away in favor of never overstepping bounds, of assuming anything. It's such an inopportune place to draw back to everything now, an inopportune time, but something about that feels as though it works. Awkward talk or serious discussions wouldn't have fit.
After all, it had been with only cursory banter that they'd ended up together the first time.
Teeth he isn't expecting, it brings forth a surprised inhale and a warning rumble deep in his chest before he contains himself, but he still cards his armored fingers through Wash's hair regardless. Dangerous perhaps, the servos there mean that he could crush a man's skull with only moderate effort, but this isn't the battlefield, Wash isn't the enemy, and so the touch stays almost gentle, benign as he can be given the situation. No motion to reject the move though, more curious than anything else. Why this, why now, why.]
