Before I could register the sudden hug I was hastily put down and Thespius took a step back.
"I knew no other way than a true show of gratitude to thank you, Apollo Lambdason, for what you have done for Nerissa." Thespius declared, prompting me to look at Nerissa.
'What did I do?'
Thespius then continued. "Nerissa achieving bloom through proximity to you, that was momentous. Words alone couldn't give my whole feelings on the matter, so I felt compiled to indulge you, breast to breast. Plus, the hug gives the other Praetorians more than enough evidence you are our ally. Our true ally."
Rhapso then spoke up. "Ohhh! That's why you hugged him! I was genuinely scared for my life then. Thespius, that was weird!"
"Really?" Thespius seemed taken aback by his body language. He then turned to Nerissa for a second opinion.
"When was the last time you hugged one of us? Very out of place, leader." Nerissa stated and I then jumped in.
