He's tackle hugged as soon as she lays eyes on him. His arms surround her reflexively. His nose is suddenly buried in black pigtails and his ears register her delighted squeal.

Obviously, she's as happy to see him as he is to see her.

Normally, he'd love to stay wrapped up in her arms like this, but he's still recovering from the plague and his strength is waning quickly. He reminds her of this and shortly he is lying on the floor next to her, using Bert as a pillow.

She happily updates him on everything he's missed and it occurs to him that he could lie there with her forever.
