their hands are calloused and for once in their life sure of themselves. though their life is a complete 180 from their upbringing and arguably a lot more difficult, there is a lot that completely encompasses arin and their life. they have their own path, their own goal, and the strength of people around them.
when they were younger, however, their hands were well-manicured and trembled with either lack of sleep or general anxiety that followed them everywhere. they constantly felt as if there was nothing in their life except a life led by everyone but themselves, and they felt guilt over feeling such distress over such a glamorous life.

they absolutely crave it. touch is human, and arin desires, after everything, to be treated as a person. to have touch is to feel as if they are alive, and after an assassination attempt? they absolutely seek out more of that human interaction in any way they can. i don't think they're a physically intimate / open person, bc i think a lot of arin's character is reclusion and hiding (even when paying attention to their clothes), but i think it comes to a brush of the shoulder, a grasp of hands, etc. etc.
