Scourge ignored the suggestion of a handshake. He knew the gesture, but wingmates shouldn't handshake like they were making some kind of deal, they were above that sort of thing. Metaphorically, if they lacked wings, but above it.
Instead, he scooted across the floor and shifted his body so as to nudge Piper's hand up and over his shoulders, negotiating himself into a one-armed hug. Now he understood Piper's hugs properly, it had just been the cultural differences that kept him from catching on to the proposition earlier.
Besides. It was nicer this way. Not quite as intimate as being created simultaneously from a pair of matched corpses, but one had to make concessions to the drawbacks of being organic.
