"No!" His hands stop cutting, and he swivels his head to Nita along with the protest. "I've hugged more than that, it's just-!"

He means to roll a hand, but he's waving about the pair of scissors, all the more flustered. Ugh!

"I didn't hug much growing up-- guys just don't hug a lot where I'm from, or not my side of the town. We slap hands, or give a knock on the arm. That kinda thing! This-"

He makes a motion of hugging someone with both arms (and scissors still in hand).

"Yeah, you break it out for sports. After a win with the team, or a fan -- or even with a cute girl! You know..."

And he's about to say, I hugged Yuna--or thinks it anyway. But then he realises where his thoughts have gone, and he ducks his head again. Goes quiet for a second or so.

"...it's something couples do," he says instead.
