Isla
It's a mess, but wonder of wonders, it's mostly untouched. Aamu will find Isla - of course - dilligently cleaning up the infirmary. The floors need mopping and there's a faint smell of smoke on the air, but the medic considers herself very lucky indeed to still have a workplace after the efforts of the Spark Bird's wrath on much of the Hollowed Grounds. Glancing up as she hears her name, it doesn't take long for her to connect the dots.
The last time she'd seen Aamu had been in the midst of chaos; a pitched battle fought in oil and blood and smoke, and gods if Isla doesn't want to put that to the back of her mind. To see him, though, it's as though he's walked straight out of that nightmare without pausing for breath. Isla, on the contrary, is clean and pressed and ready to help. One would think that alone would stop her from rushing forward as she does, and yet here they are. White coats can be washed. Souls are a more difficult thing to clean.
"Aamu, how are you?" Riding the words out on a relieved sigh, she steps in to wrap her arms around her fellow Ascended in a hug. There are times for politeness and hesitance, but tonight is not one of them. Not after all they'd been through.

passing by, you light up my darkest skies
you take only seconds to draw me in
you take only seconds to draw me in
