[It definitely does get too real as he says that. The tears she usually held back with all of her power, it'll slowly begin to form as she feels real relief to know he didn't hate her or her hugs.]

...t-thank goodness. I was afraid you felt awkward about that. About how we were siblings struggling to survive, but we were happy regardless of the struggles. You have no idea how happy I was there! I always wanted a little brother to dote and do all the things an older sibling does with a younger!

[As much as her older sisters teased her after gaining the ability to summon the wind and rain, she was very much ignored by them when she failed to do the first time around, so she definitely has a soft spot in wanting to have a younger brother to spoil and guide to make up in having been alone for so long.]

Hugging, especially. [There may be a small smile forming.] Will it...be okay if I can...you know...do that once in a while...?
