At first Lilac didn't notice his touch as her mind was thinking about how it would be nice if she could talk with Jedrek as easy as she talked to Tordoff.
But, then she realized it when Tordoff's fingers brushed her cheeks and caressed her jaw. Lilac frowned and slightly jerked away from him as she looked at the general questioningly.
"Dirt," Tordoff answered, but he avoided her eyes when he lowered his hand. "Why don't you go back inside? It is getting cold in here."
Lilac cleared her throat to get rid the awkwardness in the air when she replied to him casually. "Why? Are you cold? Afraid of getting sick?"
"Of course, not. We, shifter, can stand even the worst weather without getting sick." Tordoff chuckled. "But, you will get sick if you stay out for long time."
"Glad to hear that your kind has strong body," Lilac scoffed and rolled her eyes dramatically, but it only made Tordoff laughed even louder.
