He was pretty damn nonchalant about it, or at least that's the initial vibe she got off of him. She didn't know the exact details of their death but from the sounds of it, it had been violent, followed swiftly by a fire to burn the bodies beyond recognition. In hindsight, it was all a little too convenient, the puzzle pieces had slot together so easily, the conclusions seamless to make. But she supposed it had all been intentional, that Azure and Zee were alive but perhaps not entirely well. It wasn't as if he was all skin and bones now, his form was as strong and as firm as she remembered it, but his coat was a little dishevelled. Like he didn't even have the time to think about keeping it in order. Not that Hanako could ever relate.
She felt a tingling urge to step over and smooth out the ruffled fur along his neck but she bit it back. Seeing him here and now brought a whole lot of baggage she'd chucked into the sea washing back ashore.
"Well...Welcome back then, I guess."
