[ Physical and personal the gesture may be, Hana is too busy trying not to think of explosions and debris and the way the ground shakes when the massive omnic that terrorizes this part of the world moves. Her breaths are ragged, sharp, and fast, but--she feels warm. It's only when she deigns to open her eyes again, when she feels Shiro's chin resting on top of her head, that she really becomes aware of how completely enveloped she is in him at the moment.
She wasn't expecting it, to say the least, but... she can't be mad about it. Somehow, it makes her feel safe. His grip is both gentle and strong, comforting. She can feel his voice, not just hear it, and it's soothing. She doesn't know if it's because it's Shiro that she feels that way, if anyone else could have held her at that moment and she'd feel better, but she won't complain.
She will, however, feel a little lame. At length, she shakes her head at his question. ]
Nope. I was just surprised... Um. You can let go now.
[ She's not entirely sure, either, if that's what she really wants, but this--it's awkward, right? She's supposed to be this fearless person but what she was totally uncool, just now. ]
