Anduin is, as Hermione will find, a very good hugger. His father may not have been overly affectionate, early in his life, but he learned from his "Auntie" Jaina, who never troubled to force Anduin to be anyone other than who he was, and certainly never lectured him about how men should be tough. Unlike other, less understanding influences in his life. He will always be grateful to her for this.

"Not at all," he says, gently, allowing her as much time as she needs to collect herself. "But have faith, Hermione. You will find your way home again."
