He had just noticed her missing limbs, she knew. Haunt licked her lips and drew in a breath as she closed the gap now that he had frozen in his tracks. She considered how to answer his question, especially since she didn't really know the answer.

She took another breath. "I'm fine, Vex. How are you? I've missed you. Can—" But before she could get out the question, she pushed into him, slinging her right foreleg around his neck in a sisterly embrace.
