"Well, to start off, the area around the tip of your ears is actually a deep pink colour and almost a shade of magenta, if I had to say." Kafka explained as he poked the pointy tip of her ears, which folded down at even the lightest touch, showing just how soft her ears were.
He then moved his hands downward and gently held onto the inner flap of Nina's ears, which made them flinch around because of how ticklish it felt. But because he was firmly holding onto them, they didn't move around too much and simply thrashed around in his hand, almost as if he held onto a bird that was trying to fly away.
"And then the area below that and everything you see from the outside is a light green colour, just like the rest of your skin...Or at least that's what it seems." Kafka said, after Nina forced herself to calm her ears, which were fluttering around, so that he didn't reveal how tantalising his touch felt.
"Or at least that's what it seems like?...What do you mean by that, Kafka?" Nina curiously asked Kafka while she silently enjoyed the feeling of Kafka using his two fingers to massage the inner layer of her ear, which felt like a delicate leaf that was thick enough to hold some tender flesh in between.
"Well, if someone were to simply look at your ears from afar, they'd only see two cute little ears dangling on top of a even cuter girl..." Nina let out a little giggle, unable to contain the joy she felt when she heard how Kafka thought of her.
"...But if I were to hold up your ear like this and then shine it under a source of yellow light I'm doing now, then the light passing through your thin ears would give it a golden glow or more like an orange shimmer because of the yellow light passing through your delicate ears, which would make it appear more dark after doing so and make it look more orange than yellow."
Nina's ears were slightly pulled to the side by Kafka so that the light from the bulb above, which gave off a yellow tint, could pass through her ears.
And because of how thin her ears actually were, almost as if they were made from butter paper, the shimmering light easily passed through her skin, and when they came out from the other side, they gave her ears a dark golden radiance that was leaning more towards the orange glow one would see on the surface of the sun than the yellow brightness that was found on a simple flame.
It was a rather beautiful phenomenon seeing as to how such lovely ears that looked like long leaves, which were rolled up, could suddenly glow under light and make Nina, who normally looked like a feisty amazoness, into a sweet angel with her golden wings on top of her head instead of them hanging on her back.
"Really Kafka?! Do my ears really give off such a glow?!...Are you sure that you're not lying to me?!" Nina asked in excitement and tried her best to look into her own ears.
But because they were on top of her head, she couldn't do so, and she was simply left, turning her head all over the place like a puppy trying to catch her tail, which looked rather cute and made Kafka let out a smile.
"Of course, Nina...Why would I lie to you about something like this?" Kafka said as he caught Nina's head before she got dizzy because of how frantically she was swirling her head around. "Your ears are simply glowing under the light like they're made of stained glass, and I promise you when I say that they would look even more magical if they were to be seen right under the sun."
This sent shivers down Nina's body when she felt his cold breath carressing the inner flesh of her ears, which was oddly bright pink and looked completely different from the rest of her body, making it seem like that part of her was not meant to be seen by anyone else.
Nina also knew that the inside of her ears were actually a really eye-catching pink colour that highly contrasted with her green skin like you would see in the ears of a kitten, and because of how bizarre it looked in comparison to the rest of her body, she couldn't help but feel heavily embarrassed when she saw Kafka looking at something that she would have never let anyone else look at because of how strange it looked.
There was also another aspect that embarrassed her to the extreme, which was the fact that there was only one other place on her body that had the same bright pink colour, almost as if it were squeezed out of a carnasian flower.
That part of her body was hidden in a very secret place, a place that light wouldn't reach even if she stood in the open with absolutely no clothes on, so the thought that Kafka was looking at a place that had that same pink colour made her body feel all hot and stuffy.
Out of the shame she was feeling, she even started praying to God so that by no chance did Kakfa find the relationship between the two, even though it seemed highly unlikely he would do so.
But unfortunately for Nina, Kafka was someone who didn't really know the meaning of impossible, and almost as if he read the wild thoughts that were racing through her mind, he slowly said while looking at the forbidden pink hidden inside,
"But Nina...Even though the rest of your ear looks bright and radiant and gives off a fresh feeling as if you're hearing the chirps of the birds in the morning, why does the inner part of your ear that's a strange pink look the exact opposite of that and honestly look a little alluring, almost as if it's trying to seduce me?"
"...Do you have any idea why it seems that way?"
Kafka stopped gazing into her ears and turned to look at Nina, whose face was bright red right now, with a knowing smile on his face.

And even though it seemed like Kafka had no clue as to why the insides of her ear seemed rather vulgar and even a bit provocative, Nina just knew that he already had an idea as to why it seemed like what he said after noticing the glances he was throwing at her secret garden and looking at how he was grinning at her right now, like he knew all her secrets.
This made her want to bury her face in his chest and never lift it up again because of the sheer shame she was feeling right now at having one of her deepest secrets exposed...
