"That would just be stupid," Orsino said, soundly rejecting the idea of putting his hands on his head. Totally counterproductive.
He obediently stepped forward as Penny indicated, stopping a bit before his toes would have been up against the sides of the crate. It dawned on him that it was unsettling to suddenly have Penny almost level with him. The height change ought to have been expected, given that that was why he'd brought the crate in the first place, but it was shocking nonetheless.
"Hey, you're tall now," he observed, then put his hands on his hips. Just after he moved his right arm out and held it there, to the side, and looked at Penny. "Well? Initiate hug sequence, captain. Or else this will be awkward." He started laughing again.
