Surprised is an understatement in this encounter. Warmth spreads all across his body, starting at his chest, then spreading do his limbs, making him all fuzzy on the inside; but in a good way. there’s a small urge he should protect her, a feeling he usually has when he meets someone he almost instantly connects with. His brows raise slightly, taking a small step forward before she jumped, catching her with a laugh, arms wrapped around her middle—spinning in a circle once before setting her down, hugging her still. Someone would probably think they’re siblings, or a couple, but he didn’t care, not one bit. he finally found someone like him! who wouldn’t be excited about that?! "So did i!!"
The step forward before she jumped at him gave this girl nothing but reassurement. It was a sign of trust, wasn't it? She thought--no, she hoped so. Her grip on him was secure, not too tight, yet not as loose to break free at any time soon. So jessica squeezed the other in a hug, radiating nothing but happiness from her person. Today had turned out better than she'd ever hoped. This girl knew no bounds when it came to affection, she'd not had any for at least six years, so the other's simple reaction made tears threaten at the corners of the brunette's eyes. Thankfully, she was able to choke them down before she pulled out of the hug, feet steadily planted upon the ground as arms drew their ways back to her sides.
"Was that maybe...a little too much? I', sorry, but...this is the best thing to happen since, well. This happened? Hah."
Motioning to her body with one hand, Jess let out another small laugh, noticing finally that there were, indeed, people around. Oops.
"I'm Jessica. It's...great? To meet you."
