//He does— He kind of goes a little limp, but he takes the hug chill out jfc//
//He does kind of hug back though, after a minute; he’s getting a present, so—//
//buT WHEN HE SEES IT HIS BOTTOM LIP QUIVERS A LITTLE AT THE EFFORT OF TRYING NOT TO SMILE AND HE SMILES ANYWAY HE’LL WEAR IT FOREVER//
—Ah. That- That was very nice of you, Audelina. Thank you.
[hAHAHA SHE DID A GOOD JOB SHE MADE HIM SMILE, SHE BEAMS BECAUSE SHE FEELS LIKE SHE’S JUST WON THE LOTTERY]
Never a problem, darling. You’ll wear it forever, won’t you?
..Mm. Well. You’re welcome, I suppose. I, ah… //rubs at the back of his neck//
//CLEARS HIS THROAT// In any case. //—what does that mean presents// You brought me something?
[Pulls him into a gentle hug, yes, take it Roderich. Take the hug]
Yes, I did bring you something! I hope you’re a watch sort of man.
[She leans back to take a box from her pocket that holds a nice watch inside]
I saw it and thought of you.
SEND ME A ♪ I WILL PUT MUSIC ON SHUFFLE AND GIVE YOU A SONG AND MY FAVORITE LINE FROM IT
…I missed you dammit.
//HUFF// —Fine, yes, okay, I may have been a tad worried. But you’re alright. …Aren’t you?
Mm. I’m sure you will. //presses his glasses up// But you know, you don’t really ‘disrupt my peace’. You’re usually fairly calm-
[A bright smile slowly works its way onto her face]
Well— Thank you for saying so. I missed you too…
—Yes! Yes, I’m fine, I’m perfectly okay. Don’t you worry. I brought you back something from my little adventure even.
[Lets out a content hum and leans into him, hugging his arms]
Of course. I wouldn’t just let myself wither away like that. You’ve been alright?
[Glances up at him]
I’ve missed you.
[Smiles into her hair and kisses the back of her head lightly]
Brilliant. And— yes, I’d say that I have at that. Obviously not as good as it can be with you around, though.
[He tilts his head with a small smile on his lips, and holds a little tighter around her]
And I you.. Give me a small warning of some sort next time?
I will, yes.
[She nods with a gentle smile, swaying slightly on her feet]
It was rather short notice for me as well. I should have tried to contact you though, I’m sorry. I’m glad you’ve been well, though.
Now that I’m back, all your worries can disappear. [grins]

..I never said I was worried.
I know you wouldn’t—! It was just… quiet. That’s all.
[She laughs a bit]
It would be nice if you were worried. Seeing as I was away for quite a few days without notice.
I’m sorry if it was too quiet for you. I’ll make sure to disrupt your peace more often to make up for it.
Audelinaaaaa—
Where have you been.
Ahh? Were you worried?

Don’t worry, Roderich, I wouldn’t just up and leave like that forever.
I hope you all have been taking care of yourselves in my absence. Nobody’s world has ended, has it? No more worries now, I’m here.
What does it matter as long as you’re back, hm? Hello again, beautiful world saviour.
I trust you’ve been taking care of yourself, too, right?
[Lets out a content hum and leans into him, hugging his arms]
Of course. I wouldn’t just let myself wither away like that. You’ve been alright?
[Glances up at him]
I’ve missed you.
