She gives a gentle laugh, catching the bunny in one arm and running a warm hand down the slope of her back with the other.
"Ah~ What's the occasion, bun bun?"
Nana catches the petite bunny rocket in her arms with a bright laugh, giving her a small spin before settling her onto her hip.
She grins, reaching up to brush back some of the pink strands of hair from Kiko's face.
"Hello, darling."
Startled was a good word for it, but after deciding the hug is a warm and harmless one, she softens into the embrace.
A small smile graces her features, lighting up her expression in a subtle way.
"Ah~ I didn't think anyone would notice. I'm doing well. How about yourself?"
"Well it's not like I'm aching to have that type of connection yet. Even if somehow I did, it'll probably pass. I've been like this even as a kid so it won't immediately change."
"It's not something I can personally imagine, I'm far too tactile in my affections. But no, I don't think it's bad. Perhaps a bit sad. There is a different sort of connection brought on by physical touch."
