[Lust only holds him, not caring that he's having trouble returning the embrace. That he tries at all means the world to her. When she speaks, her voice is thick with emotion she's struggling to keep from it. Not out of shame or a need for privacy, but simply because she wants to hold herself together for Wrath.

It's clear he's raw with emotion and not in any shape to handle that. Not to mention his age makes it all the harder, so unused to channeling and processing such great and big feelings. She can't begin to imagine what it must be like for him right now, how much is going through his head, how horribly his heart must heart.

I've been right here, the whole time. This is where my life and my home are. My real ones.

[She's quick to reassure him of that. Everything that matters to her is right here, her life started in truth when she woke up in this strange world that's become so familiar.]

And I've missed you terribly.
