They hug and hang on and shove and ruffle the hair of each other, because they know each other and have communicated their boundaries with each other. New friend does not know that she needs to say what sorts of contact are okay; this leads to some awkwardness where these Well-Mannered Werewolves are trying to be Good Friends and stay out of her space because she obviously does not really like contact while she is trying to figure out if she smells bad or something because they crowd into each others laps all the time but she is excluded.
I get the feeling this will lead to New Friend whining at her aunt that she's not even sure these kids like her so much as tolerate her because she lives next door to the 'leader' of the group. At which point Aunt asks if she's actually said anything to her friends or even initiated contact and Youth will have to admit that no she did not say anything and Aunt will tell her to Use Her Words and Youth will mope back to her room.
She does eventually use her words as well as just hugging her friends sometimes. They get the picture and things get worked out and she is further integrated into the group.
