Veer was surprised to see Elara or rather her expression. It was so foreign and strange that he felt stumped for a moment. Her battle suit was perfectly fine and there was no visible wound on her, but something was amiss.
He clenched his fist and thought, 'What happened in her trial?'
However, it wasn't that important. She was Elara. His Elara. That's all that mattered, so he smiled and said, taking a step forward, "Yo, Dumbo, won't you give your dear husband a hug?"
Elara finally showed a reaction, as she turned to look down at Veer. Her distant eyes seemed to shine, as she opened her mouth wide, "Veer!"
"What are you spacing out there?" Veer felt a pang of pain in his heart looking at her expression, but he didn't show it on his face.
Without saying anything, Elara jumped from the skull and landed before him. Then, she spread her hands and hugged Veer, taking him by surprise. Still, he acted quickly and wrapped his arms around her, brushing her short hair.
