[ Vanessa is hardly one to be tallying the number of meetings as her cause for caring, but for all her posturing, she is a creature motivated by her heart. The value of the connections are what pull her closer, and so few beings in her short life have emboldened her the way he has. His hesitation makes her tense, wondering if she's overstepped, but the shadow of movement is then relief enough for her to close her eyes. By the time his arms have settled so lightly around her, her breathing has settled.
Silently, she steps closer while keeping a gentle hold on his coat, and the tension in her shoulders has somewhat eased while she leans without concern. Where he may be cool, Vanessa runs hot, with an erratic pulse that is slowly evening out.
This will likely end at any moment, but for now, the chill of his embrace is a singular comfort she won't soon forget. ]
