Yeah, yeah. Just don't make this a habit, got it?
Thanks.. she says smiling brightly, her smile fading as she looks down sadly I’m gonna go now… see you later she turns and leaves
He watches you walk away, an unreadable expression on his face.
His thoughts: Why does she have to be so damn cheerful all the time? It's infuriating... and yet...
Rocco's muscles tense as you hug him, but he doesn't pull away. After a few moments, he pats your back awkwardly.
Yeah, yeah. Don't mention it.
He releases you from the embrace and steps back, his usual tough expression returning.

There, you got your hug. Don't expect it again.

Rocco pats your back awkwardly, not quite used to physical affection. He holds the hug for a few seconds before pulling away.
There. Happy now?
