"Slyeā¦?"Ā
A more timid response than usual from someone who is usually so quick to just speak out without thought. Itās probably the time because honestly despite the fact that itās a little later than she meant to be she still wants to give him a New Yearās kiss.
The time has made her miss him so much that it honestly almost has her tears when she rushes over to almost pounce him. Sheās got to get her hugs in before she presses a kiss to his lips and then starts snuggling him again.
"Iāve missed you! Iāve missed you so much!"
He wasnāt surprised to see her, exactly. He knew she would always be around at the best times, and a break from work allowed him to finally,Ā finally see her again after so long. Slyeās chest ached from seeing her look so sad for a moment, and he pulled her close as tightly as he could just to feel her there.Ā
For a moment, the dark grey that his eyes had stayed for months showed a hint of blue mixed with brown. He couldnāt help the bittersweet happiness as he kissed her back and pulled her close again.
"Iāve missed you, too⦠Iām so sorry. Ethonās been pushing us so hard and the holidays⦠God, Sokinoā¦" He kissed her again, lingering there for longer than she had before. "Iāll never go that long without seeing you again. Iāll tell Ethon to go to hell if I have to, but I canāt leave you alone againā¦"
