[ She's burning up now, faced with so much praise and admiration that she's not so sure she deserves. Red hasn't met her at her lowest. She's still not sure she's been at her lowest, though she's been at pretty low points in this world. It would be an insult to her friend to brush the praise off, even if that's what she wants to do.
It would also be hypocritical, because she'd like Red to take her praise as well.
There's nothing for her to ramble about right away, as far as Hermione can think of. Her mind draws a blank, focus divided between the proximity, the pretty freckles across Red's nose, and the fact that they're still holding.
For someone who likes affectionate touch as much as Hermione does, she sure get starry-eyed when she actually gets it. ]
It does help to be understood, yes. And seen. [ There's a tentative smile here. ] Alright, um...how about, before we devour more cannoli than we're probably meant to - do you want a hug?
