Byerly is not good at hugging. You might think that all those passionate embraces might give him some ability when it comes to tender embraces, but - nope; he's stiff and uncertain what to do with hands, elbows, et cetera. And so when she hugs him, he sits there a moment, and then reaches up and pats her hand. It's not patronizing or dismissive; rather, it's just sort of nervous. But still heartfelt.
