I - think it is? Most of the time, at least.

... What, the dedicated nerdy scientist never looked into romantic science facts?

[but it's a nerd teasing another nerd it's different and acceptable]

Not deliberately, no. [he shrugs and grins a little sheepishly] If I know any, it's only because it's come up in other research.

Oh? Maybe you should start up some research on the power of hugs, then.

[he huffs out a laugh]

I know it releases oxytocin, as do other physical gestures - and that reduces stress, among other things. Depending on the person, anyway.

See, that's more like it. Clearly you should be doing PSA's on the importance of big group hugs.

[Sam Winchester is a pretty private, and hugs are usually kind of weird, but when he knows someone and he's feeling like shit? Hugs are pretty much one of the few things that actually soothe him. Since he was little, real little. ]

It's a perfect way to remember you're not alone.

[being a mostly private person himself, Hank gets that, too. He's not the touchy sort, not even with most people he's close to, but hugs are rarely, if ever turned down. Especially if they're necessary]

I'm supposed to be doing a lecture somewhere down the line, maybe I can throw that in along with it.

A lecture?

What, aboard the fleet?

Right, like a series of class. Myself and a few other people are going to talk about different things, depending on interest. But - even before that I was doing a little teaching here as it is, just one-on-one.

Do you know Winn Schott? He's the one organizing it.

Not familiar with him, no, but I would love to contribute.

... If you don't mind, uh. A hunter giving supernatural talks. I know a lot of different lore, too, so it's kind of historical?
