Realising that her hand is moving she swiftly pulls it back, remembering that she promised herself there would be no physical contact, well not yet anyway.<\/p>\n<p>She studies his face. Bright, beautiful blue eyes, skin looking as soft as silk. His baby face is conspicuous, and like a little boy there is pure joy emanating from his smile.

Most of all, she wants to have a shower and go to sleep. She leans her head a little over to the left, the way that Tolstoy does sometimes, with a hint of a puzzled doggy look.<\/p>\n<p>She looks directly into NutJob\u2019s deep blue eyes. He can see a radiant glow on her face. And his keenness to continue talking has completely vanished.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s not just pretty, her smile is sincere, and it\u2019s natural. Her gorgeous long, brown hair, and her charm all add up to making her irresistibly cute! She blinks her chestnut eyes eight times in quick succession. There is absolute silence.<\/p>\n<p>KristalClear is too busy trying to control her own thoughts, and she has no spare capacity to try to tune in to the wavelength right now. How she wishes that she could read humans, and could figure out what NutJob is thinking.<\/p>\n<p>She feels her heart beating a little faster than normal, as she summons up all her courage to speak as normally and as calmly as she can.
