Okay. Hug is better than hitting. He puts his around her, back, at first tentatively, like he thinks she's going to leap away as soon as he does. He's not a hundred percent sure if she's crying, so he doesn't mention it. He just slowly turns his hug tighter, when she doesn't let go immediately, and says with uncertain hope, "Does this mean you don't hate me because I'm technically a warden now?" He knows how she feels about wardens.
