[ If they're the same height, then that makes this easy. Trahearne dips his head anyway, purely out of habit (and to not look He Xuan in the eye when this happens). He Xuan's hand is colder than usual, yes, but to a plant being in which no warm blood flows, it isn't much of a problem--an idle observation, if anything.
For He Xuan, it will feel like placing his hand partially in a particularly leafy plant. With a solid head giving his hand a place to rest otherwise. And with no body heat, Trahearne feels aggressively room temperature.
While Trahearne's head is bowed, he watches the mark appear on his bingo card. ]
It's still impressive--and a bit alarming--that the cards are marked straight away.
