Perhaps it was silly to be so happy to see Anakin but honestly, it was a relief. She honestly didn't know how she would handle being back here if the friends she had made before had been sent back. Because she loved Jer, loved Caroline.... but as the only people besides Buffy she had actually seen had been from home? It was too much of a reminder of what had just happened. Oh she had no doubt it would be brought up and she would tell because honestly, there was no point in holding things in when they could destroy you from the stress.
But silly or not, the second Anakin was at the booth, Elena got up and hugged him. Perhaps on some small level it was to make sure he was really there, but honestly, it was just how Elena was. She wasn't as hug happy as Galinda was, but she wasn't completely stoic and keeping to herself. Elena was affectionate in her own way and given it had been six months for Elena since she'd seen Anakin? Yeah. A hug was definitely in order.
Going back to her seat, the brunette gave a slight smile.
"I probably shouldn't be happy to be back, but I am."
Because really, who wanted to be in the middle of a biblical apocalypse? But at least it wasn't focused on her, people didn't die because of their ties to her, because of points having to be proven and rituals performed. The seal was equal opportunity in regards to such things. Oh, she was definitely worried, especially now that Jeremy was here as well, but she didn't have to worry about him being targeted just because he was her brother.
