[Kyrie is nothing if not patient. It's a virtue she's cultivated over the years, which has certainly made some aspects of her relationship with her partner run that much more smoothly (particularly during the early days). She watches him softly, all the while letting her fingers skim up and down his arm until she comes to rest on his hand, which she turns her attention to threading her fingers through his.

It's somewhere to start from.
