Being an artist and therefore visual person, Namine preferred to face most situations with eyes open, as it were. Relinquishing the chance to do that took quite a bit of trust on her part. Even half-closing her eyes said a lot about how much she trusted Riku, and towards the end of the kiss, she did close them fully and take a moment to focus on how it felt. When he pulled back, though, she opened them again to return his smile.

Given how the situation was proceeding, she guessed he might want to try again and leaned in for the second kiss. However, she hadn't guessed he'd try for a different kind of kiss...Wait, were tongues supposed to go in mouths during kissing? Not that it had felt bad, but it had been unexpected. Maybe something to try later, once they were more used to the usual kind of kissing.

When he pulled away, she didn't stop him. She simply met his apologetic smile with one of her own--one that didn't fade after he kissed her again. No need to apologize, though maybe they did need a moment to take in the step they'd just taken in their relationship. Reaching for his hand, she gave it a light squeeze. "Maybe that's enough for now?"

Because while she hadn't lost interest either, and wanted to reassure him of that, it was another step they'd taken. No need to rush things, even if it did feel good.
