Firefly Glen Sayin' "who are you and where are you from?"

The more time spent with Tryp, the less uncomfortable she felt. He was truly and genuinely kind—a pleasant partner to have in conversation. Although she still held back, unable to treat him as she would her family, she had eased up considerably since their collision. It was easier to speak with him, her voice having decided that it was tired of running off, and she stammered far less. Whether it was her true self coming out or a result of his presence, she was uncertain, but did not mind either possibility. Kaori enjoyed being near to the boy, some part of her mind granting her the ability to trust him. It was most unusual but, at the same time, she wondered if it might actually be normal. To trust a soul as appealing as his, just as her mother so often did when the lair was greeted by guests. Perhaps, she considered, the greatest of beings were the easiest to trust, and that was why she had started to feel so comfortable around her new friend.

A question arose, one of which that she had never heard before. Hugs were not something that she had ever been given, nor was the word and its meaning ever taught to her. With a bird-like tilt of her head, she said, “If... if you would like to, you may” her voice uncertain. The way in which he hid his face made her worry that it could potentially be something bad but, given their time spent together thus far, she assured herself that it couldn’t possibly be anything awful. Whilst his body was beastly with its great mass and sturdy structure, his heart was as soft as moss. For only a short amount of time had the pair known one another, and yet, Kaori could not find a way to distrust him. So, if he wished to hug her, then she would allow it.

Lacking any knowledge of hugs and how they worked, the raven was motionless. She did not situate herself into a sitting position, nor did she lower herself in any way that might make the action easier for him; not that, with his size, he really needed any sort of assistance.
