The two of them were making their way out of the house now, and into the sunlight. Many operatives made it a point to stop and greet them; it was only proper.
There's a sigh as Riley shuts his eyes and lifts his face to the warmth of the sun. It took a long, long time for him to reach Golconda, and one of the things he has never stopped marveling over is how good sunshine can feel.
"Teasing aside though, Aidan." He's angling his head around to catch the Voidseeker's eye. "Tell me more of how you have been."
"Better than I have been in a while. The Darkest Vigil could have ended in a far more catastrophic fashion than it did."
