[ For a heart-stopping moment, Narmaya's certain that he's forgotten her. The black swathe of cloth over his eye rebuffs her in a way that makes her chest clench unpleasantly and she can't fully read his expression.

[ Didn't expect to see him at all, she doesn't say – but perhaps she doesn't need to, with the way it's written all over her face. She'd been searching for him without even realizing it, with so many questions to ask but now they're face to face she's at a loss for words. Where do you even begin after so many years? ]

Are you... doing well? After all that's happened?
