You're ridiculous, [ he says, but it's fond, awe-struck in a way, something you say to someone who so stridently defies definition or expectation. Jaime doesn't think he's met anyone who fits that more than Ruka does.
Ridiculous. And the real shame of it is that nobody knows it. Or maybe a few people know it - but not enough. It makes him yearn for family, and for old friends. You'll never believe this girl I met, he'd tell them. And then they'd meet her, and maybe they wouldn't believe him, thinking him addled by some pretty girl. But they'd realize he was right, in the end.
Hopefully he'll be able to tell his friends here about that soon. Except for instead of you'll never believe this girl I met, it'll be the much less glamorous, yeah, you're right, I'm a big dumb idiot.
It probably won't surprise her that he goes straight for the hug, palm flat against her back, chin resting on her shoulder as he says, ] Yes. It was worth the interruption.
TWO HUG TAGS IN ONE EVENING!!!
