[ Oh, put a free hug on the board. He's a person who gets hugged now. That's nice. And Stede is not at all flustered about it. At all!
Or maybe he is a little bit flustered. That's his business.
Not so flustered that he doesn't hug back after half a moment of processing. If not quite as tightly, still very securely. Excellent experience, actually. ]
Wow. You know, you're a really good hugger. Fantastic pressure level. Full marks.
[ He could probably nap like this if he weren't standing up. It's great.
Is that weird to compliment? Is it dumb to open with? Stede can't un-say it, so he isn't going to care unless it winds up putting Ed off. Neither of them is bleeding, surely there's some leeway.
It's amazing how much less terrifying the whole nebulous future looks just having Ed here, though. Everything looks better if he's involved. ]
