Gent smiled when peri skipped over to his deck, a key swinging lightly between those lovely breasts of hers. She looked tired, but ever as radiant as he remembered her.

"Now, Peri, even if I had gone missing, you know I'll always find my way back to you!" He pulled her into a light hug. She had always been able to put a smile on his face. She was like a ray of sunshine, someone he could go to if he just needed a good time. "As, for where I've been, you know that I don't ever plan to go anwhere in particular. I've just been floating for a while, really. And I came back because my own head was getting to be a bit much for me." Taking her hand and pulling her over to one of his deck chairs, Gent saw to it that she was comfortable before sitting doan and propping up his feet. Odile came down from his shoulder to sniff at Peri and Gent laughed when the cat recognized her, purring her way into the woman's lap.

"So, how have you been, sweetheart? Things ok? I mean, besides this darn war and all."
