"You've... Never had a hug before?" asks Sorbet, sounding astounded. "Wow, um, okay... A hug is a show of affection or comfort between two intelligent creatures in which they wrap their arms around each other to reassure each other with their presence and closeness. When Vera was raising me, once I was large enough, she'd hug me all the time! It's an all-around nice feeling. So, I was suggesting a hug now to reassure you about the injection, and how it won't actually be so bad!"
