Well, he's in for a surprise; in hindsight, if he gets the idea that she does this because he's a woman, she'll just laugh so loudly when he opens up about it (if he does), but she'd get where he'd be coming from. Still - it's not like she doesn't like, or wouldn't want to. She likes him as her friend, too, and it's very strange to have a friend who can be a grown-up but act like a sassy teenager at the same time.

According to her most recent history, as he's neither in the closet nor secretly a demon, he'd not be her type at all. Except Mae has a type, and it goes like this: show some kindness, make her laugh, be a little cute. Check, check, check.

She makes him stop in the middle of the street, one hand on his arm, and tugs him back a bit before reaching up to cup his cheeks in both hands. "Come here, you traumatised baby." She leans up, and presses a kiss to the cheek she just pinched.
