Kai was left sputtering as she tried to comprehend this dramatic turn of events, having no way of anticipating or rejecting the gesture. Not that she probably would have. Kai wasn't so concerned about her personal space, she was fine with lots of hugs and was generally touchy-feely, but what the fuck just happened?
Kai was a little wide eyed as she stared past Scotty's shoulder and hugged back, which was more of a reflex than anything else. "No," she eventually agreed. "It's not. That was... bad. But... after being in there I try to focus on the good. It can always be worse, you know? I'm just... happy to be out. I can take that as a win."
