[Luke wasn't really expecting a smile anyway, and even if he got one, he knows it'd just be from her trying too hard. He knows way too many people like that, and it can get frustrating sometimes, especially since he knows bottling things up just makes it worse...
So when Xion hugs him, it still surprises him a little, but he's also relieved. And sad, because he can't imagine coming close to losing a best friend, especially in such circumstances... No one deserves that. Least of all her...
There's only a second's pause before Luke lifts his arms to return that hug, his own supportive, but just as tight. He was honestly a little scared, when he first heard her screaming like that... And the danger isn't over.]
