Sah
Sah looks up when he hears the knock on the door, Lilly already perking up when a familiar scent hits. Between teh voice and his own companion's rush of information through their bond, the Outlander knows exactly who's behind the door even before she comes in.
"Hotaru!" The Thunder shoots to his feet and meets her at the door, sweeping her up into a bear hug the second she's done with her boots. "You're here!" Sah holds her close, just breathing in her scent and relaxing into her warmth. "Gods, I've missed you so much." He tilts his head slightly and kisses her temple gently as he murmers, "I'm so glad that you're here."
Having Ru appear at his door is the best surprise he's had in a long time. Just being around her and seeing that she's ok soothes something raw and jagged in him. Losing Aino had been devastating. If Sah lost his other big sister-ish figure, he really wasn't sure what he'd do.
Sah pulls back slightly so that he can let Hotaru back on her feet, but he keeps his arms around her still, refusing to let her go just yet. "What's the occasion? Is everything ok?" As he speaks, he scans her once more for any sign of injury or distress. It's a relief that his search comes up empty. Lilly meanwhile wags with her whole body as she circles the two Abandoned, giving a small yip of excitement. The amount of overwhelming joy radiating from her bonded is almost more than her canine form can contain, and she taps her feet on the ground as the effort of remaining still is too great.
The commotion would surely wake the pups soon enough. But they were due to wake up from their nap soon anyway.
