[ There's a brief pause and he thinks they're probably just going to continue on. Except she steps forward then and wraps her arms right around his waist for a hug. He freezes, as he usually does when he's touched, panic rising up in his throat.
Then he remembers this is Inej, not some stranger. Not a thing of his past. Nor is she one to be so touchy, considering what she's been through. He forces himself to relax and loop an arm around her shoulders in something of a return hug. Which...feels better than he thought it would. Something he chalks up to being apart so long.
(There's also the matter of her being pressed so close. It feels weird to say but he missed it. They usually sat shoulder to shoulder on the couch when watching movies.) ]
That's good, certain he'd be lost otherwise.
