Lottie almost immediately flung herself into the hug, laughing endlessly.
Ysabel smiled, standing from her chair and moving into the hug, almost cautiously.
Faussin briefly debated joining, then resigned himself to his seat where he would not feel suffocated by everyone scrambling to hug one another. He liked hugs, of course--just not huge group hugs. Group hugs involved too many people and touching and were generally very uncomfortable.
Finnian grinned, going in to join the hug. Vivara hesitated at first, then had a look that said "why the heck not" and joined as well, taking a moment to actually get comfortable. (Or as comfortable as he imagined she'd be able to get. Vivara didn't seem to like being touched.)
When Lottie realized Faussin was content to stay in his seat, she briefly squirmed out of the hug and wrapped her hands around his wrist, attempting to pull him out of his chair. "Come on! Group hug means the whole group!"
He shook his head nervously. "Sorry, I don't really like group hugs."
"No exceptions! You're getting hugged!"
"L-Lottie, please--"
She wasn't taking no for an answer. Tightening her grasp on his wrist, she began to quite literally drag him over to the group, her strength rather surprising.
Graham watched as Mercy and Romano decided not to join. Perhaps inspired by Lottie, he first walked over to Romano and grabbed his wrist, then set his sights on Mercy.
Mercy shook her head. "Not in the mood, Graham."
"You don't have a choice," he replied plainly. "Faqir, help me. Mercy needs a hug!"
"I will smack you both across the face with bottles. I did to him once, I'll do it again."
"I am willing to take the risk. If anyone needs a hug, you do. Right, guys?!"
Lottie began cheering. "HUG! HUG! HUG!"
"Don't you dare--"
"DON'T FIGHT IT MERCY! EVERYONE NEEDS A HUG ONCE IN A WHILE!"
Graham ended up releasing Romano to try and drag the Ultimate Hunter into the group hug, but considering she was the Ultimate Hunter and he was only the Ultimate Thief, things weren't working out very well.
"GET OFF OF ME I HATE HUGS."
Lottie realized that Romano was at risk of not being hugged and went to drag him over in Graham's place.
