... Oh. I see. Yes, that... is the obvious conclusion to draw, hm.
[Suffice to say they feel a little dumb having needed to ask when the answer is so obvious, but look. They aren't perfect, they make mistakes. They're a little dumb sometimes. But no, Duval's right. That's exactly what they should do, so it's what they try to do. Fortunately for him, Purple isn't slow about it - having to pull back a bit to free their own arms before leaning in to return it - but the attempt probably doesn't help that pulse of his, considering it involves their arms looping around his shoulders to pull him in close. They're a bit tense and definitely had to squeeze their eyes shut to accomplish it, but... they're actually holding him. It's a big step, all things considered.]
