“Oh…” Is all he can say, all he can murmur as he catches sight of his lover. One he has not seen in such a long time, at that, in the time that he’s been in the Underworld.

How are you supposed to feel when your lover that you were fully convinced was gone forever, departed indefinitely, appears in front of you?

It’s alarming, it’s exciting, but it’s incredibly overwhelming. And he can see it on your face.  “My beloved, please, come here.” He opens his arms to you, wishing for your embrace.
