It took Claude and Anise a moment before it sunk in for them, and it was no surprise that Anise had the stronger reaction. Guy stared down at her, and for some reason he couldn't hold back a smile. She just seemed so thrilled about it, and he had to admit that it was nice to be able to do this, even if he couldn't feel it. Then again, if he could, this wouldn't have been possible in the first place.

"I don't know about a cure," he said with a shake of his head. "More like a nice side effect." Still, Guy could grant Anise this one thing. After a pause, he managed to move his arms around her to return the hug.

He didn't feel her weight against him or the warmth of her body, but it was nice enough to realize that this was something Anise had never had the chance to do before, and if it made her happy? Well, that was good enough for him. The timing might seem strange when they were about to walk into the great unknown... but then again, wasn't that the perfect time for a hug?
