Ryan's pretty sure someone he hasn't seen for a while's been in the bar.

He's happy about this, really.

But you think he could smile a little more.

Has been, is, something like that.

He's got the warning of a high-pitched squeal of joy - he's still here!

Brace.

[captainryan]

Braced!

(He can't help but smile now.)

Suzi hits with the force of a happy Sime, already talking, "and then they had guns but it was okay because they didn't shoot anything at all and Bish talked them into giving us things and I get to take the citizenship test and then I'll be a citizen and Rachel gave us a ridiculous amount of money and I mean the House not me and Whistler so you're going to be taken care of forever because it's for all of us and it was only a week and a half there I didn't know how long it was here I'm sorry!"

Ryan doesn't say anything.

He's too busy hugging and nuzzling her.

It's been far, far too long. He told himself that he was going to try to loosen his ties. He wasn't expecting to see her again. Not really. But with Suzi here, cheerful and perky and her scent filling his noise and telling him exactly how much she cares about him...

How could he?

"Missed you," he says just above subsonic, voice rough.
