This is not an embrace. It is definitely not Galliard getting his feet back underneath him but staying where he is, with his forehead resting on Reiner's chest, next to his fist where he thumped him. When he feels Reiner's arm go around his shoulders, Galliard's other arm most certainly does not snake up to loop around Reiner's neck, just for a moment, and return the embrace that is absolutely not happening.

"Okay. Okay, good."

All right, that's enough of that; Galliard takes a step backwards, although he could be trying a lot harder to escape Reiner's clutches.

"So where are we, then? It's not the afterlife if you're here."
