[ His hand reaches above his other behind her, and the next thing she knows he's drawing her into him. Unexpected as the return gesture is, her body stiffens in surprise, spine arching lightly against the press his fingers against her back.
It only takes a moment or two for her to relax, and with a slow exhale, tucking her chin over his shoulder, her whole body seems to melt closely to his. She feels ease further weave into her with the touch, as if he's pulling the ache and illness itself from her body. A few more moments in silence pass, and the chill fades as well. As her arm wraps about him, she murmurs her gratefulness, ] So... generous.
[ And warm. And kind. And, like her, he looks to the future. She wants him to know that she appreciates him and all that he's doing for this world, from having worked so hard at the wall to what he's doing now to help her in return. ] Your hands.... they feel nice. [ Nice enough to snuggle closer, and to try to return to him what she feels from this: comfort, softness, gentleness. She's not sure if her own touch is giving him the same, but she tries.
Smiling, she hopes that he will lend his own touch and aide to anyone else who needs it too, far more than herself. ] Thank you.
