Gobo blinked in surprise at the hug, half-glancing toward her with an attempted reply, "But- I don't- I-..."

But he didn't move back from the hug. His eyes glanced down and to one side, and with a bit of an exhale his weight went into it more, head resting at the crook of her neck, almost perfectly as if meant to be that way. Then after a moment he lifted his arms and hugged her back, and that tightened after a moment more.
