But she can't.
Just as she can't hug him like a friend, or a comrade, or someone who fucking misses her world and can't remember the last time she saw it in one piece. So this is an embrace only in the way her arms slink around him and how her cheek presses to his chest, because she's still so short next to him. Everything else is dug-in nails and stinging skin.]

Joyd starts at the contact at first, more from "where did you come from?" than sensing what she is. So he's confused and starting to try and phase her.] Look, girl. I don't do hu--ngk!
[His hands grip at her shoulders, trying to push her away once he finds he can't phase away. Joyd can feel the Innocence burning against him and he hisses, voice coming out strained.] Let. Go.

She can hear that. Hear his Innocence reaching out for her, and it cuts a hole in her chest like he honestly still could phase her. She grits her teeth and stifles a weak sound; I can't. Don't you understand? I'm not Allen, I can't- and tightens her arms around him.] No.
[If he sounds strained, then she doesn't want to know what her voice sounds like. And she's stronger now, Joyd, did you notice? Even beneath a Noah's grip, she barely falters. He can't hurt her the way she can him.
(Physically, at least.)]

Joyd hisses again and digs his own nails into her shoulders. He never noticed his own Lenalee's hugs, or should he say Lavi's, but he knows already that she's not normal. And his mind is going to Apocryphos.]
You're permanently damaging Booky's body, you know. [Coating his arms with Dark Matter now and it eases the pain a little.] Going to make him crippled.

an enemy.
As his fingers dig in, she makes a cracked noise and rolls her shoulders. Stop that. Stop it. She would tighten further still, if not for what he says, sending a chill down her spine and back up again. Her grip falters, then abruptly loosens off as the Dark Matter slips up his arms, stinging her right back. She doesn't let go, but she isn't squeezing anymore, either.] I won't hurt him!
[God, she's had to kill a friend once already, she can't bear to have to hurt Lavi, too.]
