#i may be biased when i say that minthara has the best kisses

While we are on the topic of Minthara kisses, there is something that I really need to remind everyone of: she is the only one of the romance companions who hugs you in her kisses.

On the surface, Minthara does kinda seem like the last person who would ever engage in a hug. I don't remember where I came across it, but I remember watching a TV show in which a character expresses dislike for hugs as it is a sign that someone is hiding their true intentions and emotions from you. I feel, to a degree, Minthara would feel the same way. And hugs are the perfect opportunity for a backstabbing as you cannot see the persons hands once they are behind you. So, Minthara would naturally shy away from a hug.

Minthara is also someone who really has a hard time just telling you how she feels, thanks to the centuries of cultural burden in regards to being emotionally expressive. There was once a point in her life in which she had to keep her more vulnerable emotions to herself (especially things like love) as it may be used against her. Instead, Minthara shows you how she feels. The fact that Minthara initiates the hug and embraces you is her telling you that she trusts you with her life. Not only does she trust that you would not backstab her or betray her, but she is actively combating a centuries long fear that her open affections for you won't be used against her. She knows that she cannot say she loves you, but she wants you and needs you to know that she does.
