[This means she can hug him more?? She obviously did a good thing here, with the comforting thing, or else he'd have squirmed free by now, she's certain. And he's not entirely wrong; holding him like this, feeling him warm and close against her, is something indescribably important.
And then she loosens her grip to let him retreat if he wants to. She still has questions about their classmates, about the island, about what happened amongst them all after her execution, but they can wait. She doesn't need those answers today.]
