"Glad to hear it," Alkmene said, and he gave a saucy little bow, and held out his arms for Tama to come into. "Honestly, we're migrating more and more towards my personal style, the further along I get. So, y'know, no complainrs."

One complaint. He'd have liked to keep the tattoo tucked away. But mentioning ti would probably just draw attention, and any plausible deniability he'd once had was ash in the way that his new upgrade had clearly seen fit to bring in some blackberry brambles for the aesthetic.

Fun, fun. Oh well.

"I'll see you later, General. And...sincerely, thank you. For believing in me."

It meant a lot, but that was also about as much sincere emotion as he could manage, right then. Time to take Tama and go.
