kitten obsessively licking other kitten's ear!

Hi everyone,
I have 2 11 week old tortie kittens who are gorgeous
They get on really well and always play and sleep together. I know cats that have always lived together will groom each other as a sign of affection but I think one of my kittie's may be taking it a bit far - Missy is obsessed with Mollie's ears and is always licking and sucking them. Mollie usually doesn't seem to mind and will purr when Missy is doing it but I'm a bit worried that this is a bit odd. Mollie's ear ends up soaking wet and if you try to move Missy away she will be straining to get back to the ears. I'm worried that this is going to make Mollie's ears sore
They were at the vets 2 weeks ago and she checked they didn't have ear mites and they are back for their second lot of vaccinations next week so I am going to ask her aboutit then but I am looking for a bit of reassurance or suggestions from you!
Thank you,
Mancbird x

I have two boys who are brothers and are obessesed with cuddling, playing fighting and cleaning each other. I wouldn't worry about it, if it was hurting her she wouldn't let her lick her ears.

I presume she's doing it for comfort. Our boys are 1yr4mths old now and still suckle their bed

She just loves her sister lots and lots I expect!
