A hand rose to her chest, resting over her heart like she thought that might assuage the way it pounded so rapidly against her ribcage. He missed her. He thought about her - and oh, she would be devastated to know exactly how he had thought about her too. But was it much different than the visions in her own mind of him? Of all the ways she feared he had perished; tortured and broken by the mages he was meant to protect.
For a moment, all she could do was look at him, eyes shimmering with tears and her smile soft; warm and just a little melancholy. Despite the tiny voice in the back of her head suggesting she not - Lioriley bridged the gap and hugged him, if only to truly confirm how real he was.
