Athos is not entirely accustomed to hugs anyway so for a few moments it's just odd on both sides, really. She is too tense and he much the same before they both seem to recognise that there's no need to be and relax at least as much as either of them is ever able to. Two hugs in five minutes, and another earlier from his pirate - he's rapidly maxing out on his quota of familiar touch for the week. Possibly longer.
He doesn't lean into her, because that would be too much, but he doesn't lean away from her either. Just takes a deep breath and exhales - huffs a little when she speaks again. ] I'm sure they'll be thrilled with such a task.
