She doesn't look at all comfortable with that hug. Ruri that is Alana looks just fine with it.

I was wondering just what her hand position/gesture motion actually means.

It looks somewhat like a "hold down the lid on the teapot to make sure it doesn't explode" but that would be rather recursive, wouldn't it?

If I recall my Japanese culture correctly, that's a "go no further" body language, not pushing away, but neither is it inviting more. "I accept this, but I don't want any further contact." :ugeek:

Thank you... good to know.

It's not quite as emphatic as the shiver of revulsion that Chihiro made when the stink god dropped a handful of mucus-soaked coins into her hand, but it's still a striking bit of body language.
