Doll nodded again, grinning widely... and, pleased with Bro's agreement to teach it via tickle-attacks (however that was supposed to work!) it leaned over and hugged him, squeezing tightly.

Of course, "squeezing tightly", when it came to Doll, was entirely comparative. Doll really didn't have any strength to speak of; a human toddler would be a fair match for it in a wrestling contest. But the appearance of the effort it made to hug Bro tightly was certainly there, and the little moment of a slightly stronger squeeze than the rest of the hug could somewhat be felt, a little. Sort of.

Maybe Bro could consider going easy on it, where those ambushes were concerned? Then again, it was made of hard plastic....
