Ikaris stiffened at first, uncomfortable with Danchun being so close to him. Her chest regularly pressed against his back or arm as she corrected his posture and he found it hard to focus on anything else.
Her feminine scent was also a nuisance. His mutation into a Crawling-Thrall had caused his sense of smell to be much more sensitive than before and at this distance her fragrance intoxicated him, causing a physiological reaction in him that he could have done without.
When the breathing of the boy quickened, Danchun realized right off the bat how much she was affecting him and smartly adjusted her position, avoiding the slightest body contact beyond what was necessary. Because she thought she was dealing with a mere 14 or 15 year old, she chalked up his reaction to immaturity or inexperience. If she had known that her Lord was in fact an adult, her attitude would probably have been very different.
