She walked into the room with tears forming in her ocean blue colored eyes as if she were forcing herself never to cry. If one knew Solara and her tragic history, one would be hugging her nearly every day. With how strong her Empathy is, it also made her cry easily since she hated seeing good people suffer for any reason. Plus she was too afraid to ask for hugs in words alone due to fear of rejection.
Karuna was lounging on the couch reading a romance novel when an attractive woman with long dark hair and blue eyes walked in. Karuna noticed something unusual--her sixth sense wasn't working. She couldn't sense the woman's emotions. Maybe an angel, she reasoned. She could sense nothing.
Karuna shot the woman a bright smile, which stood out against her smooth, brown skin and rose to her feet and walked to her.
"Hi, I'm Karuna," she said cautiously, with another smile. She scanned the woman face quickly for clues as to her state of mind.
Up this close, Karuna could clearly see the tears forming in the pretty woman's ocean-blue eyes and it made her want to reach out and touch her. Not being able to sense her emotions, however, unnerved Karuna a bit.
"Nice to meet you, my love. Your eyes -- they look sad. Is it ok if I just..." Karuna slowly reached out one hand and lightly brushed Solara's cheek with the back of her hand. Soon her other hand came to rest on Solara's other cheek as she looked into her eyes.
"I don't yet know why there are tears in your eyes," Karuna said softly, "but I know that I've got a hug for you. Is it ok if I touch you, Sweetheart? Can I hug you?"
If Solara said yes, Karuna closed the few inches between them and wrapped her arms around Solara, enveloping her in a warm, friendly hug. The Native American woman closed her eyes and smiled, enjoying the closeness.
Despite Solara being a Fallen Angel, she was able to feel most emotions from any sentient being, which wasn't always a good thing. Still, at least she could relax around animals since Empathy also worked on them. Taking notice of a beautiful woman named Karuna, it made Solara smile weakly as she looked so close to crying. "I'm Solara; it's nice to meet you, Karuna." Her eyes glowed slightly to indicate she was using Empathy, thus sharing her emotions with Karuna as the tears rushed down her cheeks. Her past consisted of being tormented by her estranged brother Lucifer who she was nothing like, then being sold to human scientists who left mental scars on her, which lead to trust issues which were worse with the opposite sex due to her androphobia. After so many past lovers who treated like her dirt. It was only until months ago she met one human who reminded her of her former self. He acted cold and distant, but she knew he needed his heart protected from everyone else out to hurt him. Recently life had gotten better; it was only confessing to her crush that troubled her most. "Please hug me, it feels like my life is good as of now, but I'm too shy to confess the one I want so badly. He's also afraid of being alone just like myself, and it breaks my heart to see him that way. He may act cold and distant, but we need each other so badly."
Karuna pulled back and listened to all that Solara said, noting her glowing eyes and wondering what that meant. It didn't matter that she didn't know, because she got Solara's main feeling and her main request. Karuna smiled sweetly as she stared into Solara's blue eyes.
"I understand the need to reach out and touch those who seem distant--the urge to connect. The urge to see and be seen. I can't help you with him, Solara. But I can definitely give you a hug."
As she continued smiling at her with a bittersweet look in her eyes, Karuna lifted her hand to Solara's face and touched it lightly, brushing a strand of hair away.
Then she opened her arms.
"Come here," she urged Solara softly. She waited for Solara to come into her arms, and then closing her eyes with a smile, Karuna wrapped her arms around the angel and held her tightly. Moments went by and she didn't let go. Then the moments turned into seconds and the seconds to minutes and Karuna swayed slightly, gently rocking Solara in silence.
Solara sniffled a bit as tears formed in her blue eyes, walking into Karuna's warm embrace as it brought her so much comfort. She loved this feeling very much as sobs escaped her, enjoying being rocked in this lady's arms. "You're a good human; we should be friends since you're also capable of Empathy like me." She admitted with a warm smile towards Karuna.
As sobs escaped from Solara's mouth, Karuna held her tighter and consoled her with soft whispers.
"Shhh...I've got you... I've got you..."
She smiled at the angels words.
"I'd like that," she said to her offer of friendship.
"
This human was comforting to Solara; once she finally calmed down, she smiled at Karuna warmly. "Thank you for the hug; it means a lot since my life has been full of suffering. Do you have any cream soda? My throat feels a bit sore from sobbing."
Karuna shot her a bright smile, as she realized the angel intended to stay awhile. With her empathetic ability, she felt Solara calming down and that made her happy.
"You're more than welcome, Solara. It's been my pleasure. I understand suffering. There's nothing wrong with needing to be comforted and I'll be here for you, okay?" she said in a gentle voice.
She affectionately reached out and brushed a stray hair away from the angel's face. Then, she continued speaking, in a more regular and casual tone of voice:
"Actually, I do. I like cream soda too, and so there a 6 pack in the fridge." She pointed the way to the kitchen. "Feel free to hang out for a while."
"You're a good person for comforting someone as broken like me." Smiling at the human warmly since they were friends in no time. Feeling her brush a stray hair of her black hair from her face as she heard cream soda was here. This made her excited as she went to the kitchen, grabbing one from the fridge, and sat down on the couch with a romantic anthology book she usually kept on her. Having many of them at home to help her study love.

"Wachin ksapa yo," Karuna returned in greeting. Through her travel across time and space as part of the group that was chosen to work for the Oasis, a magical place of healing created by the elders of several peoples, she had interacted with the Sioux enough to know enough to roughly understand their language.
She withdrew her hand from him when she saw and felt his discomfort with the gesture.
"Thank you for telling me that," she said when he explained that he was uncomfortable being embraced. "And, of course, I will listen to your tale. What's happened?"

"No, thank you, for doing this." Ratonhnake:ton exhaled faintly from his nostrils and lowered his head slightly once Karuna assured him she was not going to try to hug him. It was the only thing that had held him back from coming to this place, and now that he knew that his personal space was going to be respected, he had no reason to hold back.
The Brave looked up, blue eyes full of fury and intensity. Wild, wide eyes like those of a wolf in the snow. "Sister.." He began. "I am here to admit that I am riddled with jealousy." He trembled in anger, shaking with a fury of one who had been denied and scorned for, perhaps, all his life. "I have endured so many battles, lost so much, bled and toiled not only to just survive.. but to actively make this world a better place."
"And I am given nothing but scraps for my efforts. I look onto others, those who have had a much easier life, and see how they are given rewards for things that I have done. Merits for challenges they have never accomplished. I see their laughing faces, their smiles, and I do not share in their happiness, I only feel.. betrayed!"
"Betrayed.. because I chose this life, of a warrior.. to do that which is hard and difficult.. but when I return to my lodge, there is nothing for me, only the distant echoes of those that I have helped in the distance.. mocking me with their happiness. Mocking me.. for being a simpleton, and a fool.. for thinking that the Great Spirit would reward me for being selfless. That I would be given my due for doing that which no one wants. For standing against injustice, and oppression, and upholding all the values of freedom and justice."
Suddenly, he begins to stagger, and he holds his head, teeth bared as he clenches his jaw. "I have.. nothing.. I am not a greedy man, I do not wish for a fortune or wealth in the weight of all my kills. I only ask.. to not be miserable."
The warrior falls to his knees, holding his head in great pain. Even in the very depths of his despair, he is unable to cry, such is his pride as a Brave that he cannot show any weakness. Only the raging struggle within.
"My tomahawk is blunt.. my gunpowder is spent.. my quiver empty... my blood... spilled... I have nothing to show for my victories but sorrow..."
"Do I not.. deserve to be happy?"
Unsure of how to feel about the ensuing events, Lammy shuffled herself into a corner as she watched the events unfold before her. She originally came her for a hug, in all honesty, but after hearing this guy's story, the lamb instead decided to wait for him to have his turn.
Ever so subtly, Lammy would sink to the floor, slightly plopping herself down as she pulled her guitar out of...seemingly nowhere. With this, the lamb played a few tunes, maybe add to the atmosphere of his soliloquy. Playing a few dramatic chords as the previously speaking person had gone into depth on what seemed to be his life story. While it did entertain her for a little bit, Lammy wasn't particularly to bent out of shape to match it.
Lammy only continued to play a few chords and songs, waiting for her turn to get a hug came by. She missed a show two days ago, and to her, missing a show is like locking yourself out of a car. If you forget, you lose the oppotunity to go anywhere else for a while. The thought of her missed concert absolutely destroyed her attention on anything to do with this dudes killing habits or whatever. Lammy was too distracted.
In this moment, she held tightly onto her guitar, tearing up. She didn't want to interrupt anyone's gush session, but she really couldn't handle what happened to her. Lammy took it way too seriously, but that's how she is. She loves playing with the band, but now she feels like she let them down.
She didn't know what to do, until almost instinctivly scrunching up into a ball of tears.

hello? *Sam enters, not fully sure what is going on. All she knows is that there might be hugs are people around*
"Bonjour, p..please may I have a hug madame?" Charlotte asked shifting her weight back and forth from each whiney Mary Jane. She had no clue how she had gotten here nore how far from her home underground she was, but she heard of a person willing to give hugs if they desired. Living a life in solitude with very few overseers made her not use to mutch social interaction and quiet confused when it came to physical contact. But she was no longer underground and wished to make the most of her time above. Wanting to learn and see what it is that humans do she just hoped her untamed powers would stay in line.
