Truth be told, neither Mary nor Deece could really say what they were doing, except perhaps answering to the harmonies the flowers drew out in them, and seeking anchorage in Konoka's own companionship.

The part she kisses first is a finger from Deece, followed by Mary's nose and then (smothering a giggle) the girl's lips.

The warmth in the smelling booth increased substantially, but not in the way it did in the saunas; slowly but surely, Mary and Deece found themselves wanting to be ever more intimate in this moment with Konoka. More together.
