[It comes as a surprise, but he doesn't pull away.
Connor is unused to friendly physical contact like this. In the three (no, nearly four) months since his activation, he's never experienced it, never had a reason to, never sought friendly affection to this degree. Elizabeth's hug makes his eyebrows lift, caught off-guard, but so friendly are her mannerisms that he cannot interpret it as anything more than... light-hearted impulse.
(Which is favorable, of course. He doesn't mind it.)
Connor doesn't return the gesture, but when she pulls away, she will see a smile etched onto his features, looking like a pleased hound glad for approval.]
Then you can call on me anytime you find yourself in the company of difficult personalities. [Though it does beg the question:] Does this happen a lot to you, Elizabeth?
