Elian didn't know if he should hug, kiss or beat the dog-sized metal contraption in front of him. But he was certain of one thing. He sorely missed her presence.
Bianca darted forward and threw her arms around Fluffy, screaming. "FLUFFY! FLUFFY! FLUFFY!"
Although Silent and Bastion were trying to be calm, their bodies trembled, and their eyes watered. Everyone here carried the weight of the Crucible—but in this single moment, all that mattered was that she was back.
"Woah! Bianca? Calm down, I am not going anywhere."
Like a child, Bianca began to wail—tears streaming out like a flood. Elian chuckled seeing his master throw all pretense away. Whether it was from joy, relief or just loneliness, only she would know.
"Welcome back my child, you should try to avoid such tasteless jokes in the future. Your sister almost went insane." Her mother scolded affectionately.
