Alex wasn't surprised to see Emira's shoulders sag. He knew that for the most part, her job was a lot more taxing than his, so he was going to do what he could to allow her to relax once she gets home.

He would return the hug and give her a soft peck on her lips. "Making it a habit to get home so you can relax once you get off work." He responds affectionately.

"We should. As for my day, nothing eventful. Still seeking out other areas." Having gotten Hunter's help for rapid transportation, but it came with a severe caveat. He could only use it when no solid objects were between the two points. To allow him to resume his exploration, he had to establish a line of the special glyphs and go from one to the next.

"Spot this time was barren, so wasn't much to do or see." Though he didn't really get much for a complete exploration as he had to return.

She looked up from her scroll and hummed. "Hm? What are you talking about?" Boscha asked. She wasn't stupid- if she didn't see the ring, she wasn't about to drop the ball.

That was far from the reaction he had expected. Given that Emira had been with Luz, Amity, and Boscha regarding Emira's ring for him, he had thought that Emira would've communicated the fact that she had given him her ring to the three of them.

Then again, he might have approached Boscha too early after the two got engaged.
