Tessa was surprised as she was pulled into the hug, but hugged Ruby back as she hugged her. Tessa smiled faintly as Ruby showed her concern at Tessa's melancholy attitude about her family, but Tessa simply nodded her head, preferring not to go back into the subject. Tessa was surprised once again as Ruby moved a piece of misplaced hair on her cheek back to it's original place. Tessa gave a shy smile, as she looked at her new friend. It seemed that Ruby had definitely warmed up to Tessa, becoming more and more comfortable as the situation went on, something Tessa definitely was happy about. Tessa nodded her head as Ruby continued to talk, sitting herself back up in a sitting position now, "Of course! I'd like to meet Arthur as well. It seems like you have all kinds of interesting people in your life!" Tessa exclaimed, very visibly showing her excitement on the topic. After a moment of letting her comment hang in the air, Tessa spoke up once more, looking at Ruby with probably her happiest smile yet, "I'm glad we met, Ruby!" Tessa said, this time initiating the hug with Ruby, pulling her in close before letting her go.
