"Good afternoon, Leo," she greeted him with a soft laugh as he moved to nuzzle her. She returned the embrace gladly, placing a simple kiss on his cheek. "It can be surprisingly difficult to find somewhere dry to see around here." Even if she was chest-deep in water right now, she wouldn't care much, not when she was with her son. He asked how she was, and she would consider the question for a moment. "Really good," she admitted after a moment of hesitation. "It's incredible to have our family together again."
