Perhaps only a few months ago he wouldn't have, but that had changed and she was partly to blame for it. After a moment's pause, he wrapped his arms around her again, stronger than before.
Right in that moment he felt he could have taken Barry down just from his sheer will to protect this from him. He'd thought of his friends as his family before, but it felt almost like it was confirmed now.
"Thank you." He had a lot to thank Rinoa for, not just for calling him family, but for supporting him and being his friend and changing his mind on a lot of things. Hell, just last night he'd told Barry he wasn't a monster and meant it, he never would have believed something like that to be true if it weren't for the girl in his arms.
