He's expecting it a little but it's still a pleasant surprise just how quickly Sonia leaps to her feet and throws herself against him, pushing herself up onto her toes. He laughs, just instinctively, wrapping his arms around her and squeezing, god, it's good to have her back. To have her actually safe. There's so much to still worry about, so much he even spent the previous night worrying about rather than allowing himself some reprieve, but right now he can relax a little, allow himself the relief.

"Hey." His voice is soft and fond, and he pulls back a little from the hug, just enough that he can look down at her, smiling warmly, lifting a hand to brush a stray lock of hair back behind her ear. "Didn't wake you, did I? I bet you were up most of the night, celebrating."
