[his head tilted a little] what do you mean? I like you...and it's cool when you're close to me... [but then he had stiffened up when she hugged him] I don't act like that cuz I don't like it. I'm just not used to it... But maybe I'll get used to it if it happens often enough.

[...he continued a moment later] and I'm not changing to subject because im trying to get you to stop hugging me, heh. It'd be pretty low of me to keep talking like that to purposely make you feel bad so I can get hugged.

[he shrugged a bit when she mentioned bars] they're useful places for getting information and watching people...unless they're full of smoke [his nose wrinkled a little at the thought]
