I'm not generally shy. I just don't wanna bother other students or be intrusive.

Bernard smiles at you: "You know what ? Until only recently, I had been just as shy as you !"

You get curious: "Really ? So what happened, how did you get rid of your own shyness ?"

Instead of giving you an answer, Bernard lifts his feet off the ground.

Then he stretches his legs out, towards your chair, until the soles of his airy sandals touch your right thigh.

Do you enjoy the sensation of the soles of Bernard's sandals touching the skin of your right thigh ?
