AH, it had been too long! Aksel grinned as she turned to greet him in her typical fashion with a grin as wide as his. Good lord, he'd missed her. Maybe the two of them could go looking for Astrid later, goodness knew what trouble she was getting into at this very moment. The boy laughed and nodded. "No kidding! I was starting to wonder if I'd ever run into you guys again. It's been a… frustrating season." Aksel paused, his cheerful demeanor falling just slightly. Did he dare tell her that he'd met their mother? That they'd had a… less than pleasant conversation? That they now had siblings. He winced a little at her question. The truth was he'd been having a rough time. Apart from getting his ass kicked, with the scars on his shoulders and hips to show it, he'd felt so… lost. He missed his siblings and especially his father. It seemed as if all Hroovy's had moved on somewhere and left him behind.
But that was in the past, Acadia was here! Aksel grinned and shrugged. "Oh same old, same old. Wandering around, getting into trouble. Thought about joining Imperium's ragtag group but… well, you know me and responsibility! How about you sis, how have things been? Meet anyone interesting?"
