That Melita had known about it has Vai’s stomach sinking a little, but she forces it back to focus on the here and the now. And that Nate is still missing... She swallows hard, already able to feel tears burning at the back of her eyes. A fire and a sick Ascended? She doesn’t have much hope, but she’s absolutely not going to tell that to Sunjata. Instead she hears out the (frankly absurd) series of explanations before reaching out to drag him down to her level, scowling into steel eyes.
”And at no point did you consider coming next door? We thought you were dead,” she points out, giving him a little shake for good measure and wrapping her arms around his neck to hug him again. And if it’s uncomfortable to stoop to her level from his height? Good. ”You are such a stupid tall lump,” she informs him grumpily.
