“Oh, oh okay.” he said with a chuckle as he stood a little stiffly. Padme’s arms wrapped around him in a hug. This only lasted for a second longer before he relaxed into it; returning it in kind; it was probablly a strange sight for anyone. When Tessa walked in carrying a few supplies with some of the new batch of kids on his work program. She ushered them out quickly.
“I mean the cake is a pretty good start.” he teased pulling away from her.
Few people could get a smile out of Wolverine nowadays. With the exception of the kids at the orphanage, and some close friends. Looking down at a fully recovered Padme; Wolverine gave her one of those rare smiles saved only for a special few.
“You don’t have to thank me you know. I’m just glad I was able too.” he said a little flushed now as he scratched the back of his head. He wanted to ask about Luna but wasnt sure how to bring that up. So instead, clearing his throat he pat her arm, awkward but gentle.
“How are you feeling? Did you’re people make it out okay?”
She was well aware that he wasn’t a hugger--or rather, based on every interaction she’d had with him up to that point, she’d put together the pieces. Frankly, she didn’t care. Not at the moment. When she shock wore off, when she remembered that this was every day life in this game--death and almost death and the rare moments of heroics that reminded you not everyone had lost their mind when they turned to code--she’d go back to respecting personal space. Mostly. For now, it was hard to let him go.
Finally, she pulled herself together and stepped back, coming off her toes so she was again much shorter than he. “Yeah, we’re all good,” she said, nodding and setting the cake down on the nearest table. “Luna made a full recovery.” She glanced a look back at Wolverine. She didn’t know what had happened between the two--if anything--but she knew that Luna had been the first person she’d wanted to see after she’d woken up in the hospital, the one she was most worried about. “They all did. Hades too.” At this, she smiled even brighter.
“So...” She took a seat on top of the table as she finished cutting the cake. She placed a slice on a small plate and handed it over. “He says you’ve been helping him. A lot. So you moonlight as a therapist as well as super hero?” She nodded sagely. “Impressive.”
