[The hug doesn't take her by surprise, but it does startle her. His body feels different pressed against hers, his height looming over her differently now. It's a stark reminder that this was the Doctor she left behind in the TARDIS, that this is the man her bowtied Doctor becomes. It's exactly the sort of closure she needs to finally move on past his regeneration.
She doesn't realize there are tears in her eyes until she's hugging him in return, and feels the warmth treading down her cheeks. Instead of wiping them away, she allows the tears to fall.
Her Doctor is the same man, deep down. There isn't anything to be upset about, anything to be afraid of.
She hugs him tighter, burying her face up against him.]
I must have rubbed off on you, if you're worried about your hair. Which has gotten a little too...fluffy, I should add.
[She teases him lightly, sniffling just a little. When she finally pulls back, she's got tears in her eyes but she's smiling. Her Doctor is always kind, always there for her. How ridiculous she was to think his face changing meant that would ever be any different.]
