It's a combination of factors that are poured into the hug as she squeezes him tightly before letting him pull back. She looks -- the same. The weariness lurking behind her eyes is mostly masked by the joy and energy she can pull from being surrounded by so many people having fun.]

Good to see you again, too! Where were you?

A snort of a laugh, and she shakes her head.]

Just water and juice. Everyone else is having a really good time, though!
