kiss their hand
A character takes the hand of another and kisses it as a mark of respect. Used to portray the character as particularly romantic, chivalrous, foreign, or just a bit old-fashioned.

( modified from here. )
Why stick with the cliché? The subdued? The modern? Go big or go home, we say! There's nothing wrong with reaching out, taking someone's hand — and laying a sweet kiss right on the back of it (or on their palm, their finger, their wrist...)! You just know you'll leave an impression. So, whether in a polite yet platonically old-fashioned greeting, a sworn oath, a hope to sweep them off their feet, a measure of comfort, or anything in between, drop to one knee and kiss the ring.

Ring optional.

How to Play
- Comment with your character, info, prefs, the business. What role are you going to play? Slap that in there, too.
- Reply to others.
- Your character is kissing their hand. Or getting a hand kissed. Whichever!
