Elena was always the observant type, watching people closely so she could understand how to help them. It was an intrinsic part of her, so of course she noticed that flush in Randel's cheeks, she just... didn't quite know what to do with it. Did he have feelings for her? There was nothing between them that she remembered, so perhaps it was just him? Or maybe she was reading all of this wrong and it was simply Randel's way.

Whatever the explanation, she couldn't ignore her instinct in that moment, so she stepped closer, slipping her arms around his middle for a simple hug. "Thank you."
