"Tama!" Caught in a rare moment of 'officing', Albite almost seemed sheepish as he whipped around to face the Senshi of a Cat. The full-grown Eternal somehow looking very 'hand caught in the cookie jar of doing business', when he was usually trying to do anything but that.
Sometimes though? Even he needed to come in, turn in a quota, show his face, prance his aura about the various liminal spaces of the dark ones chateau de le'kingdom...
Or whatever the hell it was technically called these days?
Regardless, whatever unofficial, officialness that Albite'd been trying to hide in the most poorly manner, quickly got shoved askew and sideways. His whole focus re-pinned on the slightly off looking features of Tamas face, and he softened nigh immediately as he realized Tama's greeting lacked its usual flair and fervor, while holding soft, painful truths. It had been a long time, hadn't it?
Too long-- with too much between them...
"Hey -- it uh -- it really kinad has been, huh? ******** strangest thing...the way a calamity always kinda does this to us...are you..." He'd wanted to ask of the royal We, of the goodness thereof, if Tama, who looked almost droopy even if he also looked fabulous, was doing 'well'. But the question suddenly felt stupid on his lips, and so he dropped it, hot rock at his feet. He frowned for all the words he wanted but was somehow missing because none of them were quite right.
"I missed you." Said the way he'd say 'i'm sorry' a phrase that should've been emblazoned into the plaques along his walls for how often he felt that way with his whole chest these days.
