"Oh! My apologies!" He chuckled nervously, releasing Joseph from the death grip, but kept him at arm's length.

Inu: *gasping for breath* Ugh, such a horrible embrace! Is this what sister has to deal with because of that idiot Matthew? No wonder she despises this "romance".

—Pom (when against Paprika), Them's Fightin' Herds
Her kiss is so inviting
And her hugs are so delighting,
And what makes them really nice
Is that they've got a little spice,
Because they're tighter than a vice
And they go on for an hour.
