A moment to adjust. A moment to relax. A moment to recognise that Naku is hugging back.

And then Ithuriel hurriedly recoils, blushing furiously and looking awkwardly away. Where did that come from? That was really just- just not like her at all to do something like that!

"Oh, I-I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me."
Hugs!

Naku does not return the hug with quite the sheer force. She is definitely quite strong, and far more durable than a single hug, even as tight as it is, would push her to.

Naku holds the hug for a moment, before Ithuriel backs off, stammering.
"That is quite all right." Naku assures her, taking a quick knee to grab at her shovel again. "It was . . . I believe both of us needed that."
