Tohko, for her part, hadn't ever been standing, and nor was she really expecting a hug, so while she didn't tense up, she did freeze in surprise for a moment before smiling and..patting Diarmuid on the back a little.

"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help..and don't worry. If I ever need help or want to tug at your ear, I'll do my best to find you."

However, if she was depressed enough to cry, that might be a different matter, since Tohko was the type to not really move until she was done crying.
