Time passed as I watched Lapia with my undivided attention, inspecting the odd aura around the Elf. Stretching an arm, I tried touching it.
My hand passed through unimpeded, coming into contact with her shoulder.
The Elf's right hand, the color of brown sugar, rested on top of my gold one. Her fingers wrapped with mine and she caressed my palm with her thumb after lifting it a little.
A warm tingle spread from my fingertips to the base of my skull, where a pleasant sensation that reverberated through my brain made me close my eyes in content.
The reddish shape around her remained unperturbed even though my hand had gone through. The thickness, color, and consistency were not altered.
Hmm... I squinted my eyes at the woman.
