[At least her laughter is outpacing her tears now as she tries again to find somewhere to pinch him. C'mon, its cheating to wear armor like this!! But if it means she gets to keep him close, she'll deal with the armor. Although...]

You should let everybody know you're back. [She wiggles, just enough to press a kiss to the bit of his neck left exposed by the armor.] Let them know you're okay.
