Kalinda stirred at the kiss. Since she had developed her empathic abilities, skin to skin contact was generally a high risk for her. Such intimate things like kissing, Kalinda had never thought to have. Yet for one shining moment, it was just Kyle. All Kyle. She responded to his kiss, returning it, an overwhelming sense of...it wasn't happiness, or joy...satisfaction? Flowing over her. For a moment it seemed like their emotions mixed perfectly, and she was scared, just for a flicker of a second. She broke away before anything more could happen, wondering what that had been. 

"Well" she said after a moment, "that's certainly one way to wake a girl up" she managed a smile, but she was still quite pale. And besides. It was nice being carried by Kyle. 

She gave a soft, contented sigh. Her first kiss, and she was half comatose. Still, she was sure this was how a satisfied cat felt like. "Maybe when I'm more aware, we could try that again"
