Susan cranes into Liu Mingyan's touch, eyelashes fluttering again. This is only partly an affectation. She really doesn't usually do things like this - not with women she's just met, anyway; she certainly has with men - but something about having reconciled with Lucy has loosened something within Susan, and this seems like the easiest thing in the world to do.

Liu Mingyan is very tall, somewhere between Janet and Lancelot. Susan moves one hand to Liu Mingyan's cheek, tracing over her (lovely) mouth with a soft fingertip, and then leans up for a kiss.
