[Yeah, give him a long moment. A very long moment of silence as the other literally dangles from him, both arms wrapped around his head.
(It'd be something to note later that the others' arms needed to be fully wrapped around his neck to be able to hug him properly--as this effect probably wouldn't be achieved if he tried to hug him around the waist. His arms wouldn't reach other side easily.)
The odd silence is almost oppressive as Reyes' eyes blow wide, red-pitted centers darting down to where the other is, and towards one of the open windows to the back of the room. A very short panic attack at the first hug he's had literally in over 15 years settles in his head, and he manages to reel it in--returning to his usual mental calm.
It's just a hug. You're a way grown ass man, get over it. The guy is drunk and he's always been weirdly lethargic when it came to things like this, so it isn't strange.
Moment passed, and finally an arm comes around from the left--hooking around the others' waist to hold him up so he doesn't ooze off onto the floor once he loses all strength in his arms.]
...
Don't know. [He won't admit this is the first hug he's had in years.]
But I know what it's like to have a cat necklace, now.
