Hi! Do you think Rogier’s type to hug someone? If so what kind of hugs would he give (and by extension, Magdalene too)? And, if I dare ask, do they get to hug at some point?
Hi anon! Now this is a very interesting question…
Is Rogier a hugger? Oh boy. Well. There’s a lot to unpack with this, I think. Like the man himself, this question has layers.
If you’ll permit me some wild speculation, let’s dive into this!
1] Is his facade a hugger?
Sure, if that’s what the other person needs. In the sense of, “this is what the situation calls for, this is what will rock the boat the least,” kind of way. A brilliant (and likely well-intentioned) imitation of sincerity.
It might feel a little stiff.
2] Is his Utter Detachment a hugger?
Heavens no. Internally, he’s begging: “please, let’s not do this.”
That sort of thing makes things harder than they need to be. Best avoided.
Hugging probably isn’t his first instinct when it comes to comfort. He seems more the type to try to use his words, or give some other gesture of thoughtfulness/consideration. His “utter detachment” is more about maintaining distance, and therefore reducing vulnerability. I don’t think he’s heartless, but rather, severely uncomfortable with something that encroaches on that boundary he feels so dependent on.
It feels like he’s turned to stone.
3] Is his touch starvation a hugger?
Absolutely, and he hates this. What a terrible affliction to have, with the company he keeps. He’s burying that as deep as he can. The good news is, in these lands, one can forget such appetites. He stopped hungering for these things long ago.
At least, until someone reminds him by initiating one.
…It feels like he’s fighting himself, resisting every instinct in him to melt into the embrace, to hold on for just that nearly-imperceptible moment longer.
4] Is Rogier a hugger?
Now that’s the great mystery right there. Who’s Rogier?
None of us know. Personally?
...Yeah. I think maybe so.
I think perhaps, in an impulsive moment of joy, (“Hey Rogier, here’s the mending rune to save TWILD,”) he might pull someone in for a hug. Or I think it could be a somber, consoling gesture, when words won’t fix anything anymore. I think in a moment of tremendous relief, when death came a little too close, he might reach out and count his blessings as he catches his breath.
I think it feels like he’s human under there. More human than he’s let anyone see in a long, long time.
5] Is Magdalene a hugger?
Ha, oh yes. And she’s as hearty and vigorous in this regard as she is in every other aspect of her being. Prepare thine ribs.
On one hand, you won’t be able to breathe, on the other:
Just popped up on your screen XD
6] Do Rogier and Magdalene get to hug?
:3
(Of course, anon!) (But the real question is, under what circumstances?)
Thanks for the question, anon! :D This was fun to dive into!

Chapter excerpt:
“Keep an eye on the elves, warn me if anyone tries to break in,” she said to Cahir.
“Why do you care what happens to them?” he asked.
“It doesn’t take much to realise that they shouldn’t have to suffer like this.”
“Is this why they called you a spy?”
Yennefer sighed, her fingers finding the hidden door. “Because I have more empathy than the likes of men who call us witchers senseless brutes? Probably.”
She walked quietly through the empty inn, until she was standing just behind Jaskier. He looked exhausted, suddenly ragged and deflated when he wasn’t putting on that performing air of careless frivolity. It was sad, truly. Yennefer even pitied him a little. It hadn’t been that many months since she had shared a dinner with him and Geralt, Coral and Philippa. And yet, all of them were now so changed by circumstances already. The risks of their lives as sorcerers, witchers and a performer too brave for his own good.

“I’ll keep you in the loop,” she’d said. Rogier could see the gears turning in her head as she said it. She had an idea. He could see it in her eyes. She nodded, and took a breath, and—
And then she was gone.
Just like that. No elaboration, no explanation. Just that glimmering flash of golden light.
-Chapter 25
(Excerpt from Still Waters Run Deep by @un-local go check it out!)
I could NOT help myself and I drew this moment out. I genuinely laughed out loud because Mags just leaves with gold sparkles and Rogier IMMEDIATELY regrets everything
