An hour, at least. M'Tau had been looking for Angela for about an hour, could have been less but it felt like more with each step he took. Thing was, he was annoyed by so much snow, as he had to occasonally stop and shake it off, by the people whining about the cold and he had even seen the Captain brooding around, by the lack of the two people he cared about the most. For the first time in his life, he did not like being alone.
It wasn't until he stepped into a hut and saw a familiar small figure, dark hair, eyes bright and gorgeous. Yep, that was her. And she was alive, and well, and despite everyone telling him that oh yeah I've seen her or who's Angela? don't worry I'm sure she's fine he wasn't able to believe that she had left the ship until that moment. He was only a few steps away. Could almost reach out and touch her.
Which he did. With long strides, he went to her, and quickly cupped her face between his large hands before embracing her tightly. Suddenly he could breathe.
