Emberwood and through it all, a dying wind of change blew

She was thrilled.  There always seemed to be this serious sort of sadness behind him, and while it made her more wary than she was around some others, it didn't turn her off of enjoying seeing him again.  She galloped towards him at a run, ready to give him the enthusiastic greeting that this unexpected meeting deserved!  It came in the form of a skidding stop right in front of him, a happy wriggle, and a barrage of words.

Hey!!!!!  Oh my gosh, how are you?!  And what are you doing here?  She looked him over, and her eyes sharpened as she noticed the marks on his shoulder.  Woah!  What happened?  You got into a fight without me, didn't you!? Rude!  Also... ok this was a lot she should probably pause and let him answer something.  She was just EXCITED and that meant she wanted to TALK and... yeah.  Obviously there was more she wanted to say, but she clapped her mouth shut, grinning.  What the heckkkkk.
