The Heartwood heart to heart

He doesn't know what "Touch me." means. He wants to ask her, "Where?" and "For how long?" but he doesn't, instead, acting on instinct to as what he thinks she means. Vaati snaps forth and seeks her neck, aiming to grip her and throw her down to the ground below him. A comfortable position to be in, in his mind, where he both asserted his need for dominance and kept intact the intimate feelings between them. She wants someone to take charge, he figures. And he could play that part very well, despite his obvious lack of knowledge on how seduction worked. This, he feels, her below him, is seductive enough for his tastes; that combined both violence in the act itself and the active chemistry between them, this was the right choice of action following her command.
