[Two creatures peering in on humanity, wishing to participate but struggling to do so. Perhaps they can understand each other's struggles well, if they try to.
At first Ali tenses for a moment, unsure of what to expect from the sudden movement. But he quickly realizes that it's a hug, that Concord is genuinely hugging him, and he's not sure how to process that. They've hugged before, sure, but it's been in the middle of making out. Moments of passion are easier to accept than genuine heartfelt moments.
But still, Ali finds himself relaxing into this hug and tipping his head forward to rest on Concord's shoulder. He hadn't meant to inspire such strong feelings in Concord, but he will accept this anyway. The 'for some reason's keep piling up, and eventually he's going to have to address them, but for now he can say that this is Concord's way of saying 'thank you' and try his best to overlook how content he feels being in Concord's arms like this.
The warmth in their hands, held between their bodies, can be felt in Ali's chest too. Or at least, he's blaming the warmth he feels in his chest on his own magic. It surely can't be something else.]
