[ It's funny. Oberon's never exactly been shy about manhandling her whenever he deems it necessary (and often when it's not exactly necessary) but this is the first time he's been quite so... clingy. It's definitely not as though she hates it - whether she'd realized it or not, she's been aching for someone to reach out and touch her like she's a real human being for so, so long. Having someone finally do it... well, it's everything.
She wonders, suddenly, just how many of those unnecessary touches before had been just excuses. She wonders if Oberon's like her in that way, too - aching for someone to reach out and touch. And just as terrified of having someone flinch and retreat.
Once again, her attention's drifted from the movie. She thinks that's fine. She's gotten the gist. This feels a little more important.
As best she can from her spot in her lap, she butts her head gently against the side of his neck, tucking herself in as close as she can get. It's all she can manage when they're sat like this, but... ]
