"I... That's very thoughtful of you," she said, offering him a smile of gratitude. "Thank you." Another smile and after a moments hesitation, stuck her hand out for a handshake.
Treyen smiled, widely, and definitely shook her hand. How...professional. But, that's how it was supposed to be, no? A hug would be TOO much, and come to think of it, he'd feel completely awkward and would remain that way for a long time.
She could say goodbye to any other gift if he was ever hugged by her.
NOW, the Healer was a completely different scenario. She could hug him, he would never mind.
"I hope you enjoy it," he said, with one nod,
"See you around, Professor," and he finally started to leave the classroom. Always expecting that note that would tell him
when to meet her for her flying lessons.
