"Look who finally decided to show up." By the time Valyr had arrived at the entrance to the village smithy, Tristan stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at the young man with a slightly mischievous grin. "You know… I've always wanted to say that."
"As if it wasn't that obvious." In response to Tristan's words, Valyr let out a bit of laughter before moving closer to the man, embracing the man not long after as he faintly let out a sigh of relief. Surprisingly, Tristan reciprocated the embrace back, hugging Valyr a bit tighter than one normally would, which was something that did not go unnoticed under the latter's senses.
