The sudden display of affection came unexpected to Levan, but it was certainly not unwelcome. He would have liked to return the hug, but he was so surprised about it, that by the time he processed it, it was already over.
... uhm, maybe not a little brother-
The boy sighed, blushing a little as he gave Lea another apologetic look.
I will provoke Caliban a bit once I left the planet, so when he tracks the message, he will see that I keep moving. You will be fine then. I am really sorry to cause so much trouble, I am definitely not worth any of it, Lea. But I promise that if the worst case happens, I will not go down without a fight. But...
Levan leaned towards her and pecked her on her lips, followed by a slightly mischievous smirk.
... if I survive all this nonsense, you can slap me for that.
Not wanting to make the moment any more awkward than he just did, he opened the door and headed out, into the cold.
