He was indeed being very gentle, and she appreciated it because she was pretty sore. Carefully she hugged him back, though she couldn't squeeze him the way she liked. "Good, because I could really use one." A very tight hug, that sounded nice, once she wasn't in horrible pain. She was glad that he wanted to, or else it would be slightly awkward.
Ah right, sleep. She frowned a little, but nodded her head. "Yeah, you're probably right. I don't really want to but, I should probably sleep. You'll stay? Thank you." The problem was sliding down into the bed to sleep. It was slow and easy, but she finally made it. "You can stay where you are, or.. I mean it's up to you." If he wanted to sleep next to her or somewhere else, that was up to him.
