"There is much to tell — and yet so little. It was much the same for most of my time there — fighting, on the surface and the underworld. I did finally get to meet my mother and father, however." She paused to look to Elion, arms open for him. "Elion. I missed you, too."
Toula appeared nearby and curled up. Melinoë laughed. "It is good to be home." Oh. She didn't even realize what she said there.
"You met your parents?" That's...a lot. He can barely remember his, and they're long dead anyway. "I hope they were proud of you and all you did for them." If not, he's gonna Kool Aid man through the universe and convince them.
Elion walks into the hug like he was the main event, pausing to boop his nose against hers. If she needed a space heater against the cool night air, he was on the case!
She might not have caught the word, but he did, and he remembered his conversation with Nina at the bake sale. He speaks slowly, because it's a big deal. "This could be your home, permanently." Just...you know...sliding that out there.
