"Oh, very cute," Holland agrees, even though she doesn't really agree. She wants the boy to do the work, so shyness gets in the way of that. Still, she's smiling, and leans her head gently on Val's shoulder for a moment, lightly enough that she doesn't mess up her hair. "Good. That makes me really happy! Obviously you have to go through all the first steps before any of the more intense stuff. Or you should, anyway."
