"You want to let me borrow one of your pokemon?" That gesture is really sweet and even if they aren't that close yet Zack really really wants to hug Geddoe. He's practically exploding from not just straight out reaching for him but he wants to respect boundaries. He can almost hear Angeal telling him to calm down and ask before touching someone else.

"I..yeah I'll borrow it but...Geddoe that's really kind of you. Can I hug you? I'm just, it's..it's really nice what you are doing." He rubs at the scar on his cheek as he kicks some dirt on the ground and waits for hopefully an okay from him. He just wants to show his appreciation for the offer is all.
