"Fufu what am i seeing, what a strange creature you really are~! Now, what shall i do to you? Fufufu i bet you would be a great addition to a potion I'm making~!" Just when the witch was about to start casting a spell, the sea dragon said something that completely startled the wicked woman. "Fuf? A...hug?" Lafenda burst into laughter after a second of complete silene. "Ahh you re such a funny creature! Well, a little hug won't hurt anyone i think~? I will have a chance to kill you then it seems~ watch you back, naive dragon fufufu~"

The somewhat frail female gave the witch a wary look. She didn't look very safe and didn't really want to do this... But, she looked lonely. The blondette gave the woman a hug and then ran off, a rose falling out of their bag. 

The girl, noticing the missing flower, looked back with a timid smile and grinned.

 "I'm sorry for the hug! You can keep the rose as my apology, okay?"

You looked the other person over with an eyebrow raised. Poor bastard looked about as fucked as you did. You put a smile on your face and puffed your chest out as though to make yourself appear more confident as you approached the man.

❛❛Heyyyyy...❜❜ You paused. Shit, you dragged that 'hey' on too long and now you were feeling incredibly awkward. Maybe that was coming on too strong?

❛❛Not to be upfront or whatever but you look like one depressed-as-shit motherfucker. Are blokes like you alright with hugs or am I being really creepy to you right now?❜❜

You waited a little bit for a response and once you realised you were probably not going to get one, you half-heartedly gave the stranger a half hug before muttering a small 'bye' under your breath before walking away at a brisk pace, face red from embarrassment. Why did you do that again? Idiot, Actino.

Ciela had never seen a creature like this before. She leaned forward, tilting her head and then reached out to touch his horns. He was too tall for her to reach and so she jumped up and tried. Still she couldn't reach. A small pout appeared on her lips and with determination she tried a much bigger jump. Unfortunately, she forgot to shift her ears back and instead toppled into Actino. "S-sorry!" She said as she wrapped her arms around him to try to steady herself. As she stood there in embarassment. She realized the the troll was actually quite comfy. Smilling a little she tighten her arms, giving him a hug. 

"Well, I've never met a creature like you before," Alara mused, admiring Ciela from afar.  "All that travelling, and I still get surprises like this!  Tell me, what are you?  Some kind of faerie?"  She reached out and gently touched Ciela's forehead with one finger.  The creature was real at least, so Alara was reassured she wasn't going mad.  She was overcome with a sense of nostalgia, remembering illustrated books she had when she was younger, depticting beautiful blue faeries and their assorted allies.  The being before her was not far off those fantasies of her childhood.  Sensing no ill will from the creature, she caressed both of her ears very gentley, now in a half-embrace with Ciela.

Renee really wanted to punch poster and give them a bloody nose for even thinking about putting her in this type of situation. Hugging someone was just something Renee could not get down with ever. She forgot shaking hands or waving was something people did. Hugging was just pushing it at that point. Though her face showed slight resentment to it, she was shuddering at the fact that she had to put two arms around someone and give them a genuine hug. And for what reason? Just so the poster can get their dirty kicks on seeing someone hug her back? What an asshole...

Coming to the conclusion that she will inevitably have to hug the person above her, she took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose. Why exactly was she hugging this woman? She needed to feel like she had a legitimate reason that being forced to by her own will. Going up to her, the mother was definitely confused at what this young woman (who's surprisingly around the same height without the heels) was planning. Trying to put her arms out in front of her and mimic the act of getting ready for a hug, her usual calm demeanor was breaking, giving a disgusted expression. Getting it over with, she went in to hug Alara. She thought it was over... but it wasn't.

Poster would let her have a second hug. She needed to say something as well. Trying to speak, she stuttered in quietly. "T-Thanks for being a good mother, I guess." Finally, she pushed herself away from the mom, her forehead covered in sweat. Pinching the bridge of her nose, she was breathing incredibly heavy, thinking, "How fucking dare he put me in that situation..."

Fionn noted that Daddy looked tense, or so was his excuse anyways. He hooked his cane into his belt to free up his hands. He pushed up his glasses before walking forward, a wide grin across his face, arms outstretched. Fionn leaned up on his tiptoes so he doesn't smush his face into Daddy's chest. He realized now that it was a horrible mistake to think he could hug around the man's shoulders, too late now... He silently fumed about how he looked like a damsel throwing himself onto a long lost returning lover. After a far too long awkward moment, Fionn drops back down, pulling down and adjusting his waistcoat, "Cheer up a little... Aye, lad?"

Benny, of course, is a feral canine so he can't really hug, but he can in a sense. The fluffy canine let out a happy yip and hugged valintines leg and his tail wagged happily.  He loved hugs, he also loved the color red, so this was good, he liked it. The dog gave a curious look, wondering if his hug was good enough for the person

Benny sees Thanatos sleeping and runs up to him and barks and wags his tail.

Thanatos wakes up and has his arms stretched out. Benny jumps into his arms and stares into his many eyes.

Thanatos stares into Benny's eyes.

"Fine..." Thanatos gives Benny a big hug.  Thanatos is amused by Benny and his cuteness but he won't admit it.

Corey's eyes widened as he saw the looming beast snoring before him, its appearance rivaling that of an eldritch horror. At first, he took a step back, fear and awe sweeping over him. Then, for once, he felt a cold breeze wash over him, saving him from the scorching heat that normally covered his planet. He welcomed this cold, basking in it. But this cold was not enough. Step by step, Corey approached the beast, cautious and alert yet relieved to feel an escape from the heat. Soon, he stood right next to the creature, inches away. Without any more hesitation, he wrapped his arms around it, as if he was hugging it. The monstrous being was freezing to the touch, but that was better than the oven-like state that he was used to. If only he could stay here forever, free from the excruciating heat that radiated across his world.
