[ She loves the idle touches, the soft caresses. She thrives on touch, and the last year and some months without have left her craving these sorts of moments, the idle hand holding and the pads of fingertips smoothing against skin just for the sake of it.
Claire tries the name of the people he says, wondering how it sounds on her own tongue. ]Dothraki. They sound like a nomadic tribe. [ The only other cultures she knows of that depend so heavily on horses have been that way. Desert people use camels, but it's essentially the same, so she makes an assumption across planets and time.
As Jon speaks of a friend, she grins, unable to suppress it. ] You're pretty fond of bookworms, aren't you? [ She says as a bookworm, herself. Her hand rests on his leg, idly moving up and down his calf.] Sam does sound like someone I could get lost in a conversation with. I can't explain why it's so interesting to me, and this isn't even my world. There's just something about holding something a person long dead crafted and held. It was a part of something, was made with purpose, and it gets my curiosity going.
[ Unlike with a certain husband of her past (future?), she doesn't feel sheepish when she talks about what she's passionate about. She knows there are things Jon doesn't understand, but he's never made her feel awkward, or like she can't share her excitement with him. She'd been nearly vibrating to show him this cup, and not just because of the wolf insignia. Because she knew she'd have his attention, even if he doesn't match her enthusiasm. ]
