Huge and forgiving wasn't what he felt he deserved in the moment. Of course he also knew that making it about what he deserved wasn't fair to her either. What she gave he would take.

He gave her the hug and just like that, unexpectedly, some little label on a little box in the back of his mind marked 'Roxy' had a change of note on it. Gone was Rhe note of 'acquaintance' and it was replaced with 'friend?' It was a question he would answer later. For now he just hugged her tightly and then slipped away to gather her books, tutting over each one as he made sure it was in good enough condition. His own were left behind as he made the stack and moved to Roxy's side.

"Books recovered."
