Lesbian courtship in the wild west
So I ran into this and... that is not fighting. Also, with the narration, I'm 1000% sure they aren't fighting but doing foreplay... right? "The feel of soft curvature crushing against soft curvature" "the hard pressure of pelvic bone against pelvic bone". Yeah.
"Aware of everything, except how it will end!" I mean... we all know how it'll end: in marriage... right?
Also apparently, this has actually been on Escher Girls a long time ago but without any transcript of the text for screen readers or people who just can't read it from the picture, so I'm gonna repost it with text.
