She's back. She's back, that's all that really matters is that she's back.
I relinquish my grip on her reluctantly, but keep a hand on her arm as she insists she can walk under her own power, and promptly proves herself to be lying.
"No, you can't." It's stating the obvious, but I'm too pathetic with relief to care.
I sweep her up into my arms, and manage not to even stagger as I carry her towards the entrance of the mansion.
There are kuroko waiting just inside the door, but even so I almost protest when they move to take her away from me, though I'm sure they're only going to bear her to her rightful room and lay her down to rest.
They're right, of course, even in their silence. I need to go tell the others, and begin planning for how we're going to retrieve Mako.
I do give her another quick crushing hug first, though.
