[An awkward kind of chuckle before he finally gives in and just pulls Summoner in for a good hug, making sure he doesn't disrupt those lovely wings of his anymore. For a moment, he just wants to stand there holding him. Nothing will ever match up to Summoner's warmth, the sound of that stutter, the way his wings rustle..]

Missed the smell of you, even.
