"Dad? Are you here? Is everything okay?"
Nixie rubbed the sleep from her eyes and let out another small yawn as she wandered into the control room, her bare feet padding gently against the cold metallic floor. Her arms were wrapped tight around Honey, keeping the badger clutched against her chest and forcing her to dangle awkwardly.
Her head and front paws hooked over Nixie's arms, while the rest of her body simply hung in the air, swaying with each step and swinging when Nixie spun around. Honey could have fought against it, but it was pointless. She had learned it the hard way.
Plus... The human did give nice hugs. They were bone crushingly tight, but that's what made them good. Nothing could squeeze her tight enough to make her properly feel it, and for Honey those bone crushing hugs were simply cosy and warm. Not that she would ever admit it properly.
