[ There's emphasis on the plural in obvious allusion to the ones on the front of the boots Sylvain can't stop admiring every time they're mentioned. Or moved, which is really the helpful part here and what spurs on testing a boundary because sitting still for too long is rather boring.

All the better to uncross his legs to stretch one out to wedge it between Sylvain's. Kind of. At ankle level, anyway, which is hardly exciting given they're both wearing boots and makes for a lack of... any contact, and ankles aren't particularly noteworthy for it either. But. What was that about anticipation again? ]

No, I think these particular boots would cover them up far too much. You've spent a lot of time staring at them tonight, so wouldn't you agree?
