He's at Eris' grave when he hears Lily's call — and at first, he hesitates. Irrationally, he's been afraid of his friend's return — afraid she blames him for Eris' death, or that maybe the pain of it will be too much and she'll avoid him, now.

His gaze rakes over her quickly, checking for wounds, but he's relieved to find her as whole as she'd been when she'd left.
