“Well...” Lily started, her thumb absently tracing a few of the scars visible on his hand as she spoke, “Anyone can be intimidating, in the right circumstances. Even more so to people who don’t know them.” She hummed softly. She doubts that she looks terribly approachable when she’s actively armed for battle, after all.
Any further reassurances she had ready for him were derailed by his counter, her face flushing pink again. She still found herself giggling though, giving his hand a small squeeze in ‘retaliation’. “And you, sir, are proving my point.” She teased playfully as she looked up at him.

Lily holds her arms out slightly towards Dawnbreaker, hoping to make it so he won't feel bad if he refuses her invitation.
"Would you like a hug?"
His eyes light up briefly at the prospect of physical comfort.
"...Yes, I would."
He steps towards her, enveloping her in a gentle embrace to avoid causing her any discomfort, despite his wishes. He leans his forehead on her shoulder, closing his eyes.
