[Well, honestly Hiyori's hand placement seems a bit stiff, or like he's trying to squish him. This is a more robotic hug than the kind he gets from an actual robot. But eh... he'll figure it out. Eric can still sense his genuine gratitude, so it's nice regardless. His sympathy is only growing though so he winds up gripping the wool a bit in his hand closer to the shoulder. Since he likes it so much, he will linger just a moment longer before he takes the lessening touch as a hint to release him. With the action substituting for the words, it still feels to him like everything important has been said. He'll just pat him on the shoulder with the hand he just took off him and then finally take a step back.]

Well... You'll know where to find me, Hiyori.
