The female Granilith reached for it with a cheeky smile and a blushing face.
"You're getting ideas, huh?"
Unfortunately, before the female Granilith's hand could reach for it,
BOOM!!
The deafening sound caused her to yelp and wrap her arms around her mate.
"It's alright…" The Paru whispered in her ear through the explosive noises produced by the spaceship taking off. "I'm with you." He repeated while stroking her back and arm with his right hand.
His left hand remained unmoving on her back, locking her shivering body in place.
Seconds later, the noise lessened. So did the irregular and sudden movements of the spaceship, which made take-off feel like an earthquake to the female Granilith every time.
"You're alright, Lith…" The Paru whispered while stroking her hair. "You'll get used to it, soon…"
He raised his gaze to the ceiling as he said that.
