[ Oh, how good it is to hear her voice again, after so many long months of only hearing it in his memories, or in his dreams. And perhaps her disbelief holds water. Maybe this is a dream. It's what he's been dreaming of since the moment they were separated, after all. Everything he has worked for since they left Lunatia has led to this moment, and it's like the world has fallen into place once more.

Alisaie is here, in front of him, speaking with him, seeing him. All of his deepest fears have not been realized. She hasn't forgotten him. She hasn't returned to the Source, or to Lunatia. She hasn't been hurt, except by the pain she bears upon her heart, and while that might be his fault too, that doesn't mean he can't start fixing it now.
He just...can't quite comprehend the scope of this whole moment yet, and so he lets it wash over him, fully and completely, the cold night air nothing more than a bother in the back of his mind now. ]
