"Y... You again?!" Usually, Katharos would be so intimidated if he were to see a person for the second time. It was mostly because they are so engulfed on the idea pursuing him, though today's different. "Waaaah, thank goodness y-y-you're safe!" Katharos flashed a smile despite his plethora of carnivore teeth on mismatched sizes, and he seems to be approaching the familiar person by him.

"D-D-Dad!! Thank goodness you are safe!! Uuu... Uuuuuuuu..." He gave him a hug, seeming to be crying a lot in joy. "See!! I-I-I told you!! People are so m-mean, but t-there's..." Katharos, overwhelmed by emotion, breaks in talking as he bursts his heart out with a cry. "P-P-PEOPLE WHO ARE NICE!!"

Germ can’t hug. The best she can do is hug their leg, so that’s exactly what she did, hoping to shift the man’s grumpy demeanor to something more lighthearted. She let out a soft but low yip, officially “naming” him.

"Oh man what a cute puppy!" Nemo yelled with excitement as he ran over and hugged Germ. "Oh! Oh! And you give names?? Special names?? Please please please can I have one??" Germ made a disgruntled noise at him, which Nemo tried  to mimic the best he could. 

"you can manipulate time?' he asked as he awkwardly shifted his weight. "That's... Wicked," Salvador's voice was as soft as a whisper. "C-can I hug you?" He asked. But he did not wait for an awnser as he embraced Nemo in one of the most stiff and gawky hug ever

"I'm not small," he said, "you are just too tall". The hopeless cries of a man with no dignity left 

"Woah! You're hella short, you know that~?" Unable to conceal snickering laughter, Mayu grinned down at Salvador, his hands placed on his hips. "Someone can put you in a bear costume and I'm sure that people will think that you're some mascot at an amusement park or something~!" As if testing his theory, the boy leaned down to loop his arms around Salvador, giving a hearty squeeze that was enough to momentarily take away the man's breath. "Huh... Well, it's not satisfying if the mascot doesn't hug back~"

"Oh... uhm, just wanted to say that I like your outfit." Mal addresses Mayu with the compliment as the two pass each other. However, before the two have a chance to part ways, one of Mayu's "admirers" storms in loudly behind Mal, startling him badly. In the heat of panic, he clings to Mayu until gaining composure and quickly letting go.

"... GOSH, I'm sorry. I didn't plan on that..." Mal looks extremely embarrassed, and just kind of slinks off awkwardly.

Momoko couldn't understand it. The second she came close to this person, she felt the strangest of emotions stir up inside of her. What was this? Is this what people called 'affection'? ...No. That couldn't be it. She was fairly certain that she couldn't actually feel that. But, even so... there was certainly something going on here. The strong urge to embrace this stranger was growing. Momoko wanted to run away to avoid the embarrassment of acting on her impulses, but... there was some degree of curiosity too. She wondered, what would it feel like to hug him? Momoko made her decision.

Tentatively, she walked forwards and tugged at his sleeve. "Excuse me, mister. Momoko would like a hug!" She looked up at him with an innocently adorable smile, then buried her face in his stomach and wrapped her arms around his waist. Hm. This was quite nice. Who knew that even murderous hell rabbits could get some enjoyment from hugs?

"Oh? A hug!? Yes!" The giant gems arms curled around Momoko, she was very soothing, and pulled away after a decent amount of time. "Augh. Thank you so much for that. Thank you." Her arms become longer, and then, they fall off. She sighs and kicks one back into place before it hits the ground, and reattaches the other one. "No one has ever hugged me." She laughs. 

Kalypso couldn’t exactly reach the gem’s midsection for a proper hug, so he levitated up and hugged around her neck the best he could. “Your powers cause you pain? I don’t like the sound of that, so... Have a little comforting...”
