The moment Aisling walks through the doorway Astila has his arms around her. He holds her so tight she can barely breathe. Bringing his hands up to cup her face , looking at her closely. He sees the dark circles under her eyes and that she has become even thinner. Not caring who is in the room he lifts her in his arms and carries her upstairs. The two uncles look at each other and just grin at them. John helps Inola put the things away before asking him about the trip.
"So what all did she learn there? I am worried she is going to do something to endanger her soul." His jaw is clenched like he is bracing himself for unpleasantness.
