Ash and Noah were having a happy reunion as I watch happily with the kids, then I see a another female mage walk over. Her red hair bounced with every step she took.
"Hey! Um, who's this Ash?"
It was a mage we all knew well, except for Noah.
"Um, Noah, this Kyna. Kyna, this is Noah."
"Wait, like the Noah? Like your brother Noah?"
Noah nods his head and laughs.
"Nice to meet you, Kyna."
"Ash told me you were missing. It's nice to finally meet you too."
They shake hands and smile at each other.
"Yeah, Kyna is my... girlfriend."
She looks over at Noah, waiting for a reaction. I did too, for I really didn't know what he was going to say. We never really talked about this, seeing as we were in the middle of a war.
"Oh! Well I'm happy for you both."
It took him by surprise a little, but he seemed to be perfectly okay with it. I see Ash let out a sigh of relief.
"Well, if you don't mind us, we're going to sit somewhere else."
They hold hands with each other and walk away.
"They seem happy together."
"They are, they really are."
"Seems like everyone has changed a little since I last saw you after all."
"Yeah, but it's all been good changes."
"Of course it has, you guys look happier than ever."
"Partly because you and Sam came back."
"Aside from that, everyone looks... better."
I couldn't tell what he was thinking, and I couldn't read his expression. I just grip his hand in mine and smile.
"We changed, sure. But we're still the same people you knew 5 years ago."
He smiles back but it was obvious that, that wasn't what he wanted to hear.
"I know, I know."
He turns away and I release his hand. What was he thinking about then?
"I'm here for you."
"I know."
"I'm happy you're back. I'm so happy."
He just turns to me. His eyes said it all.
"I'm happy I'm back too."
