but small gifts or tokens are one thing. a scarf, silk by the looks of it, is another thing altogether, and kara's mouth closes quietly as she takes the scarf between her fingers.

[ whether or not mon-el is prepared for it, kara's going to wrap him in a hug. her arms loop around his shoulders; the embrace is tight, unrestrained. it's the kind of hug that would break her sister or her mother. ]
