It felt like he was holding his breath as his sister turned to look at him. His mismatched ruby and turquoise gaze watched her curiously as she seemed to examine him and process his presence. He let her do it and stood quietly until she spoke his name out loud. It was like the tipping point that made him relax again and he offered her a small smile and nod even though he knew she wasn’t really questioning who he was. They were blood - there was no possible way that they would forget each other even after so much time had passed. It was just a question of it this was reality and he was happy to confirm that it was. He didn’t enjoy the heartache that it had taken for him to get to this point, but he was back and pleased to be around his family once again. He settled on his haunches as well after she had moved a bit closer and done the same. He could see the wheels turning in her head and he was happy to give her all the time she needed. They were together again and that’s what mattered in his mind. He gave a soft scoff and a smirk at her comment about him looking well, giving a glance to the scars that riddled his body. ”Well… I’m mostly in one piece at least,” he agreed, a subtle humor to his tone. His body wore all of the proof of his mistakes and regrets, forcing him to put them out into the world even though he’d much rather just forget they ever happened. Bringing his eyes back to hers, he struggled to find a place to start. There was so much to catch up on and so much to tell her that he didn’t know where to begin. "How have you been?” he finally settled on. It was generic and open ended, but it at least broke the seal to the flood of questions that was soon to follow. |
