You know that's what stood out to me too. The first hug was a camouflage for the attack. But the second was an instinctive one - a more primal "I need to protect her". That's was more subconscious - more natural. And it had me wishing that I was in a gun fight too just so someone would give me a protective hug like that - and if that said someone is as gorgeous as Dutta, I might not mind the dangers of getting shot either.. *sigh* 😍
Yes the second hug was very natural...again a part of Dutta's protective nature. I guess all of us were sure it would resurface as soon as he saw Naku was in real danger. I liked how he moved back towards her to protect her and then held her as if it was the most natural thing to do. 😍
as for being caught in a gun fight...well...when the protector is someone like dutta...then why not?
