Yuka blinked in surprise for a moment, but then hugged Aria back.

The way Aria had replied made her smile a bit more. She wasn't sure if Aria had picked it up from hearing her and Cirno at the assembly, or if she'd thought of it on her own. But she liked the idea of that philosophy getting around.

"And I grant you your rights," Yuka said, followed by a mutter of "(although I still don't really get that...)"

She should probably give Aria and Cirno notes too, just in case. But she didn't have anything appropriate to write on with her. She'd make sure to take care of that later.
