In all honesty? She probably could, if she were inclined to. She'd become a Force Captain for a reason after all, and it wasn't her good looks. But she'd never deliberately hurt someone she considered a friend, even if she'd only considered them such for a few minutes.
Scorpia looked mildly disappointed that he wouldn't allow the hug, but touching was still better than maintaining a ten foot radius at all times, so she nodded, extending one closed pincer to meet his hand. The surface of her pincer was hard, as was to be expected, but instead of being cold, was pleasantly warm to the touch. And though from even a small distance the surface looked smooth, Keeper would be able to feel the slight scuffs that came from daily use, as well as the minute ridges that indicated growth over time.
"Wow," she said quietly. "You're really soft. In a good way though! And your lights are really pretty; it's like you have stars inside you, almost. How do you do that?"
