His hands on her breasts - his skin against hers, no suit between them - brought a low, pleased sound from the back of her throat, her eyes slipping shut. It was brief, though - too brief - and as Niko started to pull his own clothes off, she returned to her suit, hurrying as much as she could without fumbling.
The rest of the suit was only complicated because of her legs and the armour protecting them. A couple of belts, some more fastenings and clips, and then she crouched to unclasp the leg guards and merely let them drop, pushing them into a neat pile. She was fighting a grin at Niko's scuffle with his own pants as she shimmied out of the lower half of the suit, had her own struggle freeing the suit from her lower legs...and then she picked up the suit from the floor to gently fold it. It felt like wrapping up and putting away a whole chunk of her life - she couldn't bring herself to leave it there on the floor.
It was obvious even with her suit that her legs were where she differed the most from a human. Her markings continued down muscular legs, around to her inner thighs, almost to her knees - and then below her knees came another joint, backwards-facing. She stood on two toes, longer and thicker than a human's - and above-behind those, not touching the ground, another much smaller one. For a moment, as she set her suit down carefully and reached up to unpin her hair, she stood one leg for just a second and just...moved the other, flexing the muscles and watching them shift under her skin with frank curiosity.
When she turned back to Niko, she was running her fingers through the plaits to let her hair finally drop almost to her hip. Her eyes met his, wide and actually awe-struck.
"I can't believe this is happening." There was the tiniest waver of emotion to her voice. She was almost giddy with it. "It doesn't even seem real."
Her gaze flickered down from his face - his body was still almost as much of a novelty as her own, and more than that, there was an alien...allure, really, to the straight lines of his physique, his very shape and bearing, even little things like the colour of his skin, that made him intoxicating.
When she reached him in just a few quick steps across the room, it was the first time she could really, properly press her skin to his. Her chest flush against him, she wrapped one leg around his as if trying to pull him to her as close as possible - and closer than that, as she stood as tall as she could on tiptoes to nuzzle into the crook of his neck, kissing the skin there. She clutched him to her, a hand on his shoulder and the other around his ribs, as she kissed further up his neck and then craned up to find his mouth. She was so excited, so nervous and giddy and caught up in unfamiliar sensation, she was actually slightly shaking with it all.
