[Just about any hug he gets that isn't his mother is awkward, but he manages not to stiffen too much and politely squeezes her shoulders.]

[She smirks.] It wasn't exactly a smooth transition, but I've managed to gain some valuable connections.

[Might not be a good idea to be in the debt of a woman like his aunt when he didn't even know what wrong-doing shenanigans she could have been up to since being here, but . . . money.]

And me as well. But a couple hundred a week should suffice, if that's all right.
