takes a deep breath, standing up straight in front of him...
Then he pulls his cloak, sliding it off his shoulders, letting the fabric coil at his feet. He reaches up to his throat and unfastens his tight-fitting Lacertan-cut collar, pulling it down, exposing the skin underneath. He pushes it off his opposite shoulder, then peels it down off the armed one.]
Watching patiently... Actually probably doing that thing where he's starting to mentally check off what has and hasn't changed since the last time they were together like this]
[a few more scars, from retraining, from searching the forests - he's gotten stronger again, sharper, as his strength has rebuilt, as his body hasn't burned away every calorie he puts in. He's grown in just the few months since they first got here; his shoulders are broader yet. He's not the best at stripping with one hand, but he's learned. As he takes the rest of his clothes off he flushes more, until his thumb hitches in his underwear and drags it down over his thighs 'til they drop. He kicks them off to the side, standing in front of him.
This body he still just doesn't see the appeal of. But he feels like it's worth showing Link, worth giving it to him, if it's what Link wants.]
[Actually jolts with the realization that a.. a thing.. just happened.. when Allen finally removes that last piece of clothing. He's almost surprised, staring a bit wide-eyed, holding his breath]
[hi yes, going pink enough to match Allen at this point, looking up at him, his own hand reaching out to touch him just above his knee and slide up to rest warmly on his hip. It's not clear whether he heard Allen speak...]

[t-takes the step to be closer to Link, and raises his hand to brush his knuckles against his cheek.]

cups his face, then runs his fingertips from his temple down to this throat, thumbing along the line of his jaw, focused completely on him]

Settling his other hand on Allen's hips as well, vaguely mimicking Allen's touch by stroking with his own thumbs.]
