Neveah's stiff posture relaxed only when Davina pulled away, and took a step back, out of Neveah's personal space.
Davina did not even seem to have noticed Neveah's adverse reaction to her hug and Neveah was glad for that.
Neveah had never liked having anyone in close proximity to her... she had already died once because she let her guard down, it would be foolish of her to allow a repeat of it.
At this point in Neveah's life, whoever could get too close to her without triggering her instincts was someone she trusted deeply... and there were not many of such people.
'Are there any?' Neveah's wolf thought to her but Neveah had no response and so she remained quiet.
"Don't do that again, I was really worried for you." Davina lectured with a stern look.
Neveah could not make any promises and so she only nodded but said nothing in response.
When that was settled, Davina looked over Neveah, taking note of her attire.
