it comes with a hiccup and a sob, not nearly as quiet as it should. because this is just - this is so tender that it feels like a wound that's never going to heal, and it's hitting him all like a truck now that they're stuck in this place. now that he's finally slowed down enough to process it again, all of the grief and the misery of the past few weeks compounds all at once. he's trying not to be too obvious about it, but his fingers come up to return the warm, solid hug, and he squeezes, tight.
it's okay to be weak, for a few minutes. it's okay to be hurt, to be fragile, to be vulnerable. ]
[AAAAAAA GOD she's so sad, but it's okay, she doesn't mind doing this! she turns so she can better hold him, her tail coming up to wrap around him too. this is the kind of thing that she thinks so many people need, and she's glad that even if they don't know each other all that well yet, he's comfortable enough to let go with her. it makes her feel good, to be a safe harbor.
she'll stay here and gently pet his hair. it's okay.]
