Yes...well...(again)...this older gentleman with plenty of niches of his own was going to stick with the niche description - though someone else with pale hair and complexion may be more inclined towards the other.
Airey nodded in confirmation. He owed June another correspondence soon anyway regarding the twins and this could be another essential tacked on to things. The, er, more pressing matter now was this offer he was already somewhat wishing had not just slipped out of his mouth. To date, he could probably found the number of hugs he had given out in this kind of setting on both his hands with maybe a couple of toes thrown in there. There had been a large graduating class Hogwarts that tipped the scales a bit. There were the mentor hugs that were more of a rarity to paternal hugs, though the one now was a particularly delicate blend of the both. Perhaps a part of him had hoped Mr. Truebridge would decline...but since that was not the case...
Clearing his throat and smoothing his tie down his front, Airey buttoned one of the buttons on his suit jacket and stumbled around his desk to meet the young man on the other side. And then, with a deep inhale, he took one long stride and folded his arms around the Ravenclaw and gingerly pulled him closer to him, head to his chest and one hand gently rubbed up and down the Unspeakable's back - just as he would his own sons when they were feeling particularly fragile.
