A door with knuckles, yeah? And it's just 'Naomi.' [ His bruised cheekbone is prodded somewhat clinically, like she's familiar with this sort of thing -- silly boys getting beaten up on the regular.

[ he admits. and raleigh is as solid as a door anyway. it fits. there's the barest twitch of his eye when she pokes at him, but doesn't draw away or otherwise show his discomfort. lucky you're an earther. he has to think of gravity torture then, wondering what would happen if she got hit like he had. it's not something he has the stomach to pause on for long without getting angry, so he skips it.]
