but they all stop short of advancing - even the one at his shirt seems to pause, simply writhing against him idly as she watches him, smile as content as ever, if with a thoughtfulness to to it befitting the situation, attempting to gauge his reaction ]

You can let me know if there are too many, or if you don't like it, okay...?
