His eyes grew wider at the utterance of the words he longed to hear from her. After a couple of seconds he nodded enthusiastically. "Susan! Yes! Yes, it's really me!" he answered excitedly. Another reunion? As strange as it was, he was starting to love this place, and for the time being he decided to push away the thought that there was something unnatural about it all. He just had to appreciate the moment for what it was.
He gave her a wide grin, the colour rushing back to his cheeks as he reached out to pull her into a tight embrace. "And you're lucky it's me, or you'd have one seriously insulted human about now!" he smiled into her hair, rocking her a little without really noticing.
