"Tsk." I cluck my tongue at him and shake my head. "You should do more than just try."

"Okay, I'll believe you if you give me a hug" I say chuckling holding my arms open slightly to her.

I hesitate a moment, unconsciously backing up a little further into the wall and crossing my arms.
Last person I gave a hug to was Logan... on the tower... right after Andra died.
"I don't... really give hugs," I say, hoping he doesn't take it wrong. "I am not a huggy person."

"Never?" I ask her putting my arms down, "What if I just hug you?" I ask her with a small chuckle.

"Um..." I hesitate some more. "I don't know. I don't get hugs very often either... Laken says I'm too bony." I laugh slightly, take a deep breath, and close my eyes... then shake my head.
Nope... can't do it. Can't give a hug.
"I'm just not a huggy person," I say again.

I shrug, "Okay I guess" I say turning away from her slightly, "One of these days I'm gonna give you one though, whether it's against your will or not"

I laugh slightly. "Evil baking addict," I mutter in an attempt at levity. "You would, wouldn't you?"

"What was that?" I asked her chuckling, "And yes I would" I add nodding my head. After a few seconds I put my arms around her quickly and gave her a hug.

"That was me calling you an evil baking addict," I laugh, then freeze when he hugs me.

"That's what I thought" I say laughing and squeezing her slightly before letting go of her, "And that was me hugging you"

I really don't like hugs, I think, hunching my shoulders and crossing my arms again, looking down and biting my lip to hide the tears. Oh, god... don't cry. You'll hurt his feelings if you cry, you're pathetic if you cry....
I nod, attempting a smile but still keeping my head down.

I saw the expression on her face and bit my lip slightly, "Sorry... I can tell that upset you... I won't hug you anymore" I say looking over to her, "Just don't cry" I add when I see her eyes starting to water.

"Sorry," I mutter. "I just really don't like hugs." Yet at the same time really need one, except then you have to cry because you can't get hugged without letting your guard down and being reminded of the fact you need to cry. "Sorry," I say again, smiling weakly.

"Don't be sorry," I say shaking my head, "I am, You told me not to do it and I didn't listen"

"True enough," I shrug, trying to casually flick the tears out of my eyes. "Rather pathetic of me though." I laugh slightly.

"Nah... You just don't like hugs" I say with a shrug, "that's understandable"

"Yeah." I nod, though I don't know if it is or not. "Last time... that I hugged anyone was right after Andra died, and he kept me from jumping off the tower," I mutter to the floor, not sure if he can even hear me properly. "Not really something that I wanted to be reminded of, you know?"

I look to the floor, frowning slightly, "Sorry..." I say quietly, "Yeah... it wouldn't be..."

"Not your fault," I shrug. "If you'd surprised me with a hug a little later, perhaps.... But it's all right."

"No, it's fine," I shrug, hating that I made him feel bad about it.

I look over at her for a second and look toward the floor agian, "Uh... I don't know..." I say scratching my head.

"Um.... I think I'm going to take Fluffy to his new home," I say, crossing and recrossing my arms.
Because I just want to go away and cry now.

I nod, slipping the vial with Fluffy in it into my hand, and making my way up the stairs out of the entrance hall.

I watched Arden go up the stairs and then didn't really know what to do with myself. I looked around the empty room and stood up to start walking around again.
