[Edelgard hesitates. What was she expecting? Bernadetta being too much of a coward to accept? Perhaps dying makes someone more bold...
Eventually she pulls the other young woman into a hug. Her arms curling around her with their chests flush so that Bernadetta can feel it when she gives that extra squeeze. The hug is... stiff, which is to be expected. But there is warmth in it. Edelgard is trying to put some heart into this action. Not doing so would be an insult to all that she has said to Bernadetta.
