wrapping this up <3

It was Korei who came first to greet them— then Lily, and Lanawyn, and he felt something swell in his chest. With a look that said 'later' in response to Lily's question, he moved to greet each of them, bumping his nose against their cheeks and murmuring 'hello's and 'I missed you's. Xahi's arrival came as a late surprise; the sight of her made his heart skip. His friend had been so reclusive following Lennon's departure. He offered a smile, warm and genuine. It's good to see you, Xahi.
When the introductions seemed mostly over, he nudged Lily affectionately, hoping she would help settle Delight and Queenie, and gestured for Lanawyn to follow him. He led his sister away, intending to tell her of Delight's promotion— and of something else she needed to know.
Then he would flee as quickly as possible.
