Upon seeing Penelo approach, Mjrn's eyes widened a little. Her friend had changed and it was more apparent than merely staring at her through the sky phone screen. Perhaps it was somewhat less noticeable to other humes, who shared roughly the same lifespan, but the Viera aged much more slowly. Seeing the difference apparent in what might have been a year or two was a little disconcerting. It reminded Mjrn of issues that she tried not to think about.

Nonetheless, this was not the place to confront them. As Penelo drew closer, Mjrn's smile grew. She wanted to cast Viera reserve aside and rush forward to embrace her friend, but instead she glanced to Reks and hung back. Penelo needed him first and that she understood.

Meanwhile, Chit rushed forward. She needed to inspect all these new people. For a moment, she peered up at the blonde woman and cheeped, then moved on to the pair of men hanging back. The little cockatrice circled them, giving them cheerful-sounding cheeps and 'I'm adorable, pet me' looks.
