They headed down the stairs, and as they entered the kitchen, they would see a familiar redhead, who looked over when they arrived. “Oh my GAWDS.”
Luce charged at them, knocking elven cooks out of the way to get to them. “Oh, my babies,” she said tearfully, pulling them into her arms. “I thought we lost you...”
“Of course,” she sniffled, kissing both of them on their heads. “That raid was so awful, and with you gone and Ben imprisoned... I didn’t know where either of you had gone.”
She paused before looking down at their hands. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Are you two... together?”
She gave her a warm grin as she wrapped her arm around his waist. "I'm glad you're okay, Luce. Do you like it here?"
She sighed a little, looking around. “Not as much, but I mean... the human kingdom was home, y’know?”
