Claire was sitting on the bed, bag tossed on alongside her, Pokemon inside their balls, PokeGear closed and shut off. She couldn't stop fidgeting with her hands, staring between them and the door. At one point she'd gone to draw the blinds over the window; the sunlight was far too bright and it made her even more nervous

As the sounds of locks and chain rattling was heard from the other side of the door, Hershel felt like he couldn't breath for a moment. What if it was someone else on the side of the door? Was Remi in there by herself in there? What if it was the wrong door, wrong inn, wrong person, wrong hallucination? His worries and doubt just consumed him and it sucked the air out of him

Claire snuggled into Hershel's embrace, vaguely aware that he'd spoken. She slowly turned her head to look up at him.

"It's good to see you too." And it was... even if she thought she'd been saying her final goodbye to him a mere week ago. It had been quite a long week, though, and she definitely appreciated having him here.

Just as she had the last time she'd seen him in person, she loosened her hug to reach up and cup her cheek in her hand, tilting his chin toward her so that she could gently press her lips to his in a chaste kiss.

For Hershel, it's been a good ten years since he last saw Claire. Ten long years. He wasn't even able to say his goodbyes to her on the last day he saw her. He just sat there dumbfound with his new hat while she just ran off to the lab, making him promise to wear the new top hat over dinner. Of course, so he sat and just watched her leave off without even a goodbye, and he still regretted that to this very day, thinking about it whenever he looked in the mirror and saw that top hat of his. But now that Claire was here, he was going to make sure not to repeat the same mistakes
