"Thank you, both of you." She means it as she takes the Digimon with care.

And then she curls around him -careful of the leaf- and Leafmon will very much feel a shudder run through Eva as she chokes back her tears. Ladies don't cry in front of boys they don't know that well.

As it is, she wishes, more than anything, her pokemon where here; but they're not, and for all being able to hug Leafmon helps, it's... not really the same.

Even so, it's a least a good minute before she uncurls and takes a shaky, steadying breath.

"Thank you both so very much for your kindess."
