[ venus, for her part, doesn't say anything. she doesn't have to. she may not be the most experienced with stuff like this, but she knows what it feels like - to not have someone to hold when you need it, to be hurting and not have anywhere to put it. if erika's willing to put that in her, she's willing to take it. honored, even.
she reaches around with her own arms, gently crossing them on erika's back and hugging her close. her own grip is comparatively soft, her fingers resting loose against erika's shirt, and venus thinks- how strange it is, that she came here for her own reassurance and is providing it instead. not that she'd complain. as terrible as it is to say, it's comforting, knowing that the others are hurt and worried just like her. it makes her feel- normal, almost.
she rests her head gently against the side of erika's before bringing her wings in - gently enfolding erika in light and warmth and feathers. she hopes it's not too forward of a move to make like this. ]
