"Yes but there's still no tea. Therefore, I miss it more than someone who is next to me." She nods a bit but despite her uncaring attitude, she loosens up when Bolin hugs her and slowly returns the hug. She wraps her arms under his and rests the side of her face on his chest.
It hadn't even been a month since they knew each other but Bolin gave off a vibe that Eska wasn't used to being around. Because he was so full of life, she wanted a piece of that. It was always something she felt like she was missing. Not because she didn't like the world but because she never connected with it.
Plus, when Eska hugged Bolin, he was warmer than Densa or their father. Maybe it was a water tribe trait, to be able to endure the cold but at the downside of always having cold skin. Or maybe it was the energy that Bolin stored inside of him that radiated heat.
