Raven was still in business mode as she quickly made her way out of her place of work - it usually called for her to be proper with her words, as good of a personal assistant as she could manage to be. She barely watched where she was going, one high-heeled step in front of the other, navigating based on the emotions of people around her alone.

Her eyes were focused hard on the cellphone in her hand, thumb going a mile a minute as she worked at inputting data, replying to texts, anything to wrap up her day and get that last thing in. She was becoming more like Tony every day, it seemed.

However, in her peripheral vision, she saw the car approaching, and quickly went to send one more message out before tucking the cellphone into her bag.

He pulled up to the curb and parked...and actually got out of the car. All grins. It was a very, very unusual expression for him to assume. He hadn't smiled like this in ages.

Striding toward her quickly, he actually laughed as he wrapped his arms around her in a bear hug.

"Raven! It's so good to see you again."

He had a pulse. He had a real heartbeat. He had a real, human, living body. And he had wanted it for so long, that this time he wasn't going to take being alive for granted. ...Mostly. It remained to be seen what would happen tomorrow.

She released a sound of surprise from her throat at the large hug she received, but was quick to wrap her own arms around him to return it. A light laugh left her - mainly pushed by the surge of positive emotions she got from him.

It was a nice feeling, for him to be this happy for once. Regardless of how happy he had been before, there was always that strong undertone of sadness and anger. And sure, that was still there to some degree, but it was blasted out by this.

"It's good to see you too, Arnold."

He pulled back slightly and tapped his forehead with one finger, still all smiles.

"Look at that! Isn't it amazing? God, I've been a hologram for hundreds of years, you have no idea how refreshing it is to be human again. Or maybe you do. What am I saying, of course you do. You understand it exactly. Come on, let's go see that movie."

He bowed her toward the car, feeling like he was about to spontaneously combust with happiness. Although it'd be best if he didn't. He remembered the last time he'd been alive.
