Catra's the one who said it, but it's still unexpected when Adora agrees in such a simple way like all Catra ever had to do was ask.
Her cheeks are already warm from it, and from the pleasant movement of Adora's hands and the soft towel, and warm again from the press of Adora's lips. It takes a remarkable amount of strength for Catra to not turn her face and kiss her when she lingers, and even more still to keep herself from letting her head roll into Adora's touch.
Or maybe she should just do both. She could kiss Adora and have her play with her hair, Catra thinks in a bit of a daze. That was absolutely something she could do.
"Better not," she rasps. And then swallows, her feet shuffling closer together beneath the towel. Her ears twitch as she thinks about them, thinks about how sensitive that entire part of her head is on a good day, and - yeah. She's making the right call on that one. She doesn't need to be made into putty in this bathroom again. "Just--stay focused."
