“Hey Luuuuna~!” Incoming half breed with a big ol’ hug for Joshua. A soft smile is cast up towards him as well. “I’m finally able to head back home, but, it didn’t feel right not stopping in to let you know where I was headed. I didn’t want ya to worry and… I wanted to thank you for everything as well. Not just for letting me stick around, but all the support you’ve given me while I’ve been here… You really are outstanding for that and more. It’s been a blast getting to know ya and getting to build what we are- and I’m gonna keep stopping by, too! You have my word on that!”
He catches the bundle of aether and wraps her up in his arms, giving her a light squeeze.
"I'd gotten used to having you here." Hope had become something a fixture in the background of Joshua's consciousness. Her energy complemented that of his dynamic city's, so after he grew comfortable with her, he'd completely forgotten the fact she's actually a foreigner. Her smile inspires one of his own, but with the faintest taste of bittersweetness.
"We'll miss you... but I am so happy for you. It must be such a relief." He unloops one of his arms from around her petite form to pull an unusually shaped feather from a slit in the planes. "Just remember to look after your health; don't lose yourself caring for others. The key is balance... Deal?" The ethereal quill flashes across her vision as he passes it by to tuck it behind her ear. "Anytime you need a vacation, swing on by."
