[yea that's about what he expected. there's no judgment or confusion from him though, because swords are also this confused about their bodies. shenhe non-human propaganda continues.
he squeezes her hand one more time before slipping his away, and then just opening his arms out wide for her.]
Step closer when you're ready?
[he imagines this is easier than just coming at her with a bear hug. he'd be fine getting thrown into a building but is trying to have a tender moment here,]
[my goal is that the swords don't realize she's human for at least two weeks
but anyway, she takes these instructions, and nods a little. he holds his arms out - and she's seen hugs before, she knows what they are, it's just a matter of executing it. so she steps forward, and very carefully wraps her arms around him, resting them on his back. it's a little awkward, but she is trying her best, genuinely.]
[she is trying her best! genuinely! and buzen is very proud of her, as well as a little endeared because it's truly so much like watching a blade realize they have limbs for the first time.
at least buzen's had a few years and a few hugs under his belt by now, so his own movements are a little more practiced. he wraps his arms around her in turn, pulling her into a warm embrace. he really gives such good hugs. nice and comforting. though with shenhe, he keeps his hold just a little looser - just in case she feels uncomfortable enough to want to pull away at any point.]
[she's a little stiff, at first. but the hug is warm and nice, and it isn't too tight, and - it takes a minute, because she is who she is. but she does slowly relax, and by the time she's answering she's just settled against him, face hidden.]
... Yes. [she says, a little muffled. it's okay. and she thinks she might like to stay like this for a couple more seconds, actually.]
