Ange doesn't resist being drawn into the hug. How could she? Even when she's a bit angry, or even when she's mostly just hurting, there's no way she's going to reject such a gesture coming from her big brother of all people. She's pulled right in, and though she doesn't move to wrap her arms around him as well, Ange leans forward in such a way that she's basically leaning into the hug anyway, resting against Battler.

It'd be even harder to resist the hug in the light of those words, anyway. It's so dumb, isn't it? It hurt so much when her brother left so soon after showing up here, but now he's suddenly here again, and saying those words, making her emotions completely flip around again into just being so very glad he's here in the first place.

She's so weak. No matter what she does - there's no way she could ever stop being this weak to her family, especially her direct family.

"Yeah, but.."

Her voice is much more quiet now. The more the initial anger has ebbed out of it, the more vulnerable she sounds, probably closer to that six year old girl he knew, even though she's much older than that now.

".. you aren't going to go again, are you..? I've lost you so many times by now.." And only one of those times was on her own terms. .. Her semi-own terms, since it's not like she was asking to be ripped apart. Thanks, Bernkastel.

It's harder to see her face in their current positions, but her voice shakes in that sort of way that betrays the tears are falling this time.

"I don't think I can go through that again.."
