[Well, that's better.

She rests her hands on Ellie's waist as she returns the kiss, relieved that even if there is something up, it's not enough to stop Ellie from wanting to kiss her.

(She doesn't consider that the kiss could be to allay those worries, because it's just... not something Ellie would do.)

( Eventually, she eases back, hands anchored at Steph's shoulders, and offers a little bit of a smile. )

Less stressed?

( Slightly teasing, yes. )

If I say no will you kiss me again?

[But she smiles and kisses the tip of Ellie's nose before drawing back.]

Shoo, the sooner you leave the sooner I get you back.

[Which is what really matters.]

( There we go. Easing back, Ellie looks a little more at ease, herself, albeit for entirely the wrong reasons. )

You bet.

( Poor Steph. Ellie bumps her shoulder, letting her hand drag down Steph's arm and their fingers catch as she wanders past her. )

Later, Batgirl.

[The touch is a relief, too, and her hand follows Ellie's for a brief moment before she lets her go.]

See you.

[And instead of lingering and watching Ellie leave, which might be a bit weird, she just turns around to head back to the apartment.]
