[The moment Momo leans in like that, Jiro moves her arms so she can wrap them around her and hold her close. It's a little weird, having to twist a bit to do it, but it's much nicer than just letting Momo lean with no reciprocation.

Something about what she says, though, gets an amused little huff out of Jiro.]

"Do you have a recommendation"... what, like we're doing a research project together or something?

[She's so cute. She's so cute.]

This is just something we gotta feel out. I've got an idea of where to start, but other than that, it's best to just go with the flow. You know?
But since you're already in reach...

[Her paw pulls back in, and she brings it underneath Momo's chin to bump underneath it a bit - trying to get her to angle her head up so they're face-to-face.
And they're close like that, too. Just an inch or so apart.

She can already tell her heart's starting to hammer again, hard enough that she can feel it in the cords of her jacks.]

... I've found kissing's a pretty good way to ease into it. If you're cool with that.
