[ This isn't the first time they've kissed -- but the circumstances when Tommy had egged her on encouragingly to steal back her bow from the Avengers hideout had made it easy back then.
All adrenaline, all the high of breaking rules.
This is different though, Tommy's kiss is feather-light, and somehow this makes her all the more nervous. It's been... awhile. Prior to the situations she found herself in -- Eli and Tommy had made moves on her in equal measure -- she hadn't. Not since...
And because she feels instantly guilty that she'd thought of Eli here and now while she's encouraging potential makeouts with Tommy, she lets her voice fall to a whisper. ]
I'm not really... that hungry.
[ She's really worried that her voice might shake over the words, but it thankfully doesn't and that gives her a little more courage to slide onto the couch, one knee finding the solidness of the seat as she eases her way onto Tommy's lap.
Breathe, Bishop. Just like riding a bike.
She presses her lips together and tries not to laugh at how terrible that sounds. ]
