Hmm. That nuzzle is a whole lot, isn't it. He didn't expect it to affect him quite like this, but he can feel his stomach flutter a little as Seth rubs his face into his chest. It's almost impulse at that point, the way he leans back just slightly, just enough to bend down and plant a kiss between Seth's eyes.

He only realizes after he does it that Seth isn't a wild elf, and that could be read in a million different ways that he doesn't intend. He doesn't want to pull out of the hug really, but he does anyway out of a protective instinct.

"U-uh-- sorry," he murmurs quickly, clearly flustered and forgetting his signs.
