She hesitated only a moment longer before stepping closer and hugging him. It was a strange feeling, initiating a hug was not something she had ever done with sincerity before. But she knew that it could help people who were hurting.

"I'm a creature of chaos, Erskine," she said softly, "I know what it is like to feel that you are the cause of all your problems. Sometimes it's true, but other times bad things happen to good people and no one is to blame."

She didn't break her embrace when she was done speaking, hoping that she was doing it right and that it would help.
