[This sure is a hug from someone who is around 4 inches (10 cm) taller than him. After the initial moment of shock of San-chan hugging him wore off, he laughs a little and wraps his arms around San-chan. He really did miss everyone who isn't here, but they have it worse, he thinks. They never had any hope of seeing him again after all. Shifting a little so that he can actually talk and not hit San-chan's collarbone, he hesitates, before figuring he might as well ask.]

It...was bad, then? No one's told me what happened or how you handled it. Apart from everyone chasing after the Colorless King and what King did when he caught him, I mean.

[He still didn't want them to get revenge, but after that talk with King, he kind of understands why they do a little more. Hitting him on the head might be a good idea, San-chan.]
