Obviously, Leon is not used to hugs. People don't... hug him. He doesn't have the sort of relationships that encourage hugs, he have never had those sorts of relationships, and he has never really had to deal with something like this. Even though it should have been obvious, it blindsides him, and he stiffens immediately, tensing up.
He'd shove her off, he really would, except he's worried that she'd fall and hurt herself with how unsteady she seems to be on her feet, so the only thing he can do is endure it, uncomfortable and tense and discomfited. Physical touch is already difficult enough for him to endure. Something like a hug, which is that intimate and gentle of a gesture, is even worse.]
