For a moment Winnie isn't at all sure how to respond, wracking her brain for books and plays and poems that might help, but in the end the longer she spends not doing anything, the more a pain begins to build in her stomach. Right. Gotta play up the part.

It'd be easy for someone normal to just 'feel things out,' but Winnie's a bit lacking in that department. Still, she puts one hand on his head, stroking his hair in a loving sort of manner, while her arm drapes around him in a light embrace. It's a good thing she also can't actually feel the awkwardness of this, despite being aware that it should be there.]

There, there. [The pain disappears and she sighs a little] I know you're terribly stubborn about, er... public displays of affection and all, but isn't this nice? [Acting!! Though her head is bowed, her eyes scan the area to see if there's anyone she can pick out that might be watching, someone behind this, but there's nothing out of the ordinary. Her voice lowers so as not to be overheard]

If they're watching us for obedience, it's from somewhere out of our sights.
