[ Like hell Roxy is going to turn down a free hug, especially a good hug from a good friend. She hugs him no problem, because that much she can do? It's the actual talking about herself that will be the real issue, because... well, she embarrasses herself enough already with her stupid feelings, she doesn't want to add more fuel to the fire.

She so badly wants to just "that's what she said" to the happy clam comment, but she lets it go. It's hard (that's what she said!), but she lets it go. ]

Just peachy keen, tangerine. [ Before she breaks away from the hug, she gives him a friendly smooch on the cheek. She's just. So happy he's here. She's missed him so much! Him and his Egbertian smile and his silly way of speaking. He's clearly capable of affection, so she has no idea what he's going on about thinking he's not emotional! Silly boys.

If one were to pay close enough attention, however, one might note she's looking a little rough around the edges, lately. Despite her laid-back and otherwise cheery disposition, it's obvious she's feeling a little worn out lately. Maybe not enough sleep? ]

Just missin' my pals and feelin' overwhelmed in this underwater fish bowl with all these peeps. You probs feel me on that one though, huh?

[ That's... not really it. But it's something she can give in return, she guesses. Why are feelings so hard to articulate without sounding like a complete dumbass? ]
