Sersi grinned up at him, barely able to contain her excitement. "School's been fine, I guess. But it's Earth! I love it here! Though I missed you a lot. You've been gone for so long!"
Gustav ruffled her hair playfully as his smile widened. "I missed you too, kiddo. But it's good to see you're settling in."
Aildris stepped forward, clasping Gustav's arm in a firm handshake. "It's been too long, Gus. You've been busy saving our world as usual and we had to keep things locked down here."
Gustav chuckled. "It's good to see you, Aildris. I heard you've reclaimed your title as family head"
Aildris nodded, his expression turning serious. "Yes, I've been busy too. One of our family's energy fuel stations was affected by the catastrophe recently. I had to go there personally to oversee the rescue operations. That's why I couldn't visit sooner."
