The call of his brother brought summoned him near immediately. In moments, he appeared before him at the borders of their lands with his chest heaving and his eyes wide. It'd been some time since he'd seen Ace, and after everything.. it would be a lie to say there wasn't some part of him that feared never seeing his brother again. They had spent a lot of their lives apart from one another, but hearing him call gave Elias an intense feeling of relief.

He stopped and read his brother's body language and immediately, the overwhelming scent of the woman that lingered on him began to fill in the blanks for Elias. He was piecing things together, assuming that this woman was the reason for Ace's absence.. and that honestly made Elias feel.. good. He had his love, and whether or not this woman was in Ace's heart in the same was Zuriel was in his own, Elias was pleased to find his brother in good social health. He waited for an explanation before jumping the gun, but the slight grin on his face was a little hard to hide. "Good to see you back, brother."
