The Perk - Sunday late afternoon

[new_to_liirness]

Liir felt a curious case of deja vu. Here he was, after a great journey. After the loss of someone who meant so much to him.

Waiting in a cafe.

The differences, though, were important. For one, his hand was wrapped around the handle of the broom. For another, he knew that the person who meant so much would be back. And almost like history

A left, and then a right, or was it the other way around? Glitch was scrambling, synapses still going in all directions as opposed to the ones he needed at the moment, and he was trying very hard to just be thankful that he wasn't being followed by something large and hungry.

It took him a little longer than expected to make his way to the Perk, but it wasn't for lack of wanting to be there.

He had to make sure Liir was back, and safe, and not eaten by anything that had once been on display.

All of that might be why he simply skipped the greeting once he got inside and went, instead, for a hug. Hugs were always good at the ends of thrilling adventures.

Liir startled at first before hugging him back and holding on. Tight.

"Are you all right?" he asked immediately.

This only helped to confirm Glitch's thought that hugs at the end of adventures should be mandatory.

"I'm fine. There were lions though. Are you?"

He began to nod.

Then he wobbled a hand. Professor Ambrose deserved honesty.

"Mostly. Where did you go?"
