With a chuff, half laughter, half scoff, she tried downplaying the surge of emotions and the glassiness of her eyes just a bit to preserve SOME of her pride, but it wasn't in earnest. Pride be damned, she was damned glad to see him again as well, for so many reasons. And even though she felt no less whole for his presence before her she did somehow feel more whole.]
Gods! It's damn good to see you again, Ardbert! Good enough I'll let that slide.
