"Lili!"
The small Sephrina quickly rushed towards the fairy, grabbing her.
But…
Akamir's eyes were solely on the man who walked out of the room as well.
"…Velyrian?"
Akamir froze in his place as he stared at the elven man.
It was unmistakable. Those sharp, almost regal features, the blonde hair tied neatly behind his head, and the calm, assessing eyes that seemed to see through everything.
Velyrian.
Only… not quite.
This Velyrian looked younger.
No faint lines at the corner of his eyes, no hardened weight in his gaze.
His posture was still proud, but there was a softness in it that Akamir had never seen before.
Even his legs were still intact as he stood in front of him.
"Welcome, guys." Velyrian said with a warm smile, "How was your day?"
"It was great!!" Sephrina replied with a bright smile.
"You see this!" she pointed at her teria. "Akamir made it for me!"
Velyrian smiled as he patted his daughter's head. "It looks good on you."
