[ Several things happen in quick succession: Percy lets out a huff of air as Vex suddenly collides with him, freezes without meaning to at the unexpected contact, and then forces himself to unwind and wrap his arms around her in turn.
Even if this sort of thing isn't something they do much of, if any situation calls for a hug this might be it. And it's not actually unpleasant, now that the immediate surprise has worn off, close contact with someone he trusts implicitly. Vex is solid and warm and very clearly present, and he leans down to rest his forehead against the top of her head as they stand there wrapped around each other.
The wings are, admittedly, new. But they've managed with stranger. ]
It's alright.
[ Murmured nonsense he's barely paying attention to, but saying something seems like the right thing to do. He's had his time to come to terms with this whole thing the least he can do is attempt to help Vex do the same. ]
