 be curious, not judgmental
Becca stood in an awkward stance with her arms by her sides as Celandine gave her a hug. She... wasn't really sure whether to be rude or play it off cool and hug back. Becca ended up settling for something in between - she patted the girl's back awkwardly before pulling away.
Then, when Cela ran over to Plymouth to cure him of his laughter and give him hugs, Becca looked away and tried to seem uninterested. Couldn't they get a room? That was way too much close contact. But when Plymouth said her name, she couldn't ignore him no matter how much she wanted to. She snuck a glance at him and his extended arm. He was still hugging Celandine. No WAY was she going to be in a hug with Plymouth and his girlfriend. Talk about being the third wheel.
"No thanks. I'm not really into group hugs. Those are only for when Miss Professor Lainey is around and she makes me," she commented firmly. Regardless, she still would have loved the opportunity to be that close to Plymouth, to breathe in his sweet scent, to really see if his ear hair was as bad as the rumors said...
