Marci looked up from her desk when she heard the soft whirring of the hover chair as it glided smoothly into her office. Her face lit up and she rose from her chair to greet Armetus. He had gotten most of his color back and he looked much stronger than he had only a few short weeks ago.
"Armetus!" She exclaimed coming around her desk and moving up beside his chair. She didn't hesitate and leaned over to affectionately kiss his weathered cheek. "What… what are you doing here?"
Armetus smiled at her, his remaining eye filled with happiness to be alive and up and around. "A little bird told me that my protégé was feeling a bit overwhelmed." He told her. "And I needed to get out of that damn hospital."
"Nesa talked to you didn't she? I can't believe Anuk authorized you to leave!" Marci told him as she took his good hand in hers and squatted beside the hover chair looking at him with affection in her eyes.
