[A-awwww. Aerith is a little baffled by the sudden hug--but then again, she was the first to be kidnapped. He must have been worried...]

Well, not the whole time, but close enough. I'm okay, Hope. [She can't really hug back like this, but she does drop her head a little bit, nuzzling his head. Just like the picture! But then she thinks of something and if birds could frown, she would. He doesn't feel that steady on his own feet yet; she can tell with how tight his hold is.] You should lie down a little longer! Don't rush yourself.
