So I want to thank you again for this hug! But I noticed you've been scoring the hugs since then and I wanted to know what Rex's hug rating is 👀👀
Oh my ok oh my Rex. Rex Rex Rex hugs, I wanna say he’s the ultimate hug goal because I don’t know how fast and loose he is with his hugs, which make them even more special imho.
It’s not that he’s hug-averse, no no. It’s more that he just doesn’t think about it as something someone would want from him. He’s an amazing leader and captain, he cares so much about everyone and everything he does but he would never assume that someone wants affection from him cuz he’s, he’s just awkward and I think shy in the affection/sharing his emotions thing (just basing this off the whole handing Ahsoka the helmet with her markings on it and when Kenobi waves at him when he’s covering for Anakin)
Which means he has hug energy stored up for daysssss...which translates into the coziest hug you could imagine. Somehow he is not awkward in his hugging (just everywhere else haha). He knows exactly how long to hold the hug, where to position his head and hands, and it’s just nice. Guaranteed mood booster.
Once he discovers that yes, in fact, people do want hugs from him, he sets up (rare) office hours for troops to come by for a hug.
Rex Clone Hug Scale Rating: 20/10
