“Hayate,” Yun called out, using Yasuo’s alias just to be absolutely sure. “look who I found!”
He was in the middle of tending coals in his fire pit when he heard Yun calling him. But not by his real name... immediately that put him on alert. Who had the dragon unwittingly brought with him? Already a breeze caught the loose strands of his hair as his tension rose. But he wouldn’t spring to his feet just yet.
Not until he saw a certain familiar face.
“... Taliyah?” It was like his voice got caught in his throat. He thought he’d never see her again! ... but what was she doing here? With Leng Yun?
Standing up and walking closer he seemed suspicious at first. That was just his nature. But unless a shapeshifter had somehow gotten a really good look at her before there was small chance it was anyone else. That nose, those brows... the fact she was just slightly taller than him. Just slightly. Yep. It was Taliyah alright.
It looked like she hadn’t changed much either. Surprising. But then neither had he. Less surprising.
“... heh” he finally exhaled a single chuckle, the tension released. Yasuo lifted one arm up and open as an invitation for a hug. “What are you doing here, sparrow? I thought your sandland needed you?”
“Where did you pick this one up?” he nodded over to Yun. “I didn’t think they sold old friends in Navori.”
