"ike!" she gasps in surprise, especially so over the physical body he now accompanies. no longer is a he nothing more than a ghost accompanying her in battle, nor a ring to keep her mind at ease in the blistering hot deserts of solm, but rather... a whole human! "when did you... how!? you should have said you would be here like this before you left the ring back at solm!" and its then that she gives him a hug, their height difference making it a rather... funny looking scenario without any context. "oh man! now we can eat all the meat in the world together! this is so exciting!" she says as she pulls apart from him. "you wanna go hunting like good ol times back in solm?"
Ike was not a man who often indulged in physical contact outside of training and combat.
He got by fine with the occasionally shoulder touch, maybe a nice hearty high five on special occasions. It's not that he disliked it, he just wasn't a touchy guy. He was especially not keen on random hug ambushes from crazy people who seemed to somehow know who he was despite being very far from home. She even knew he loved meat! Which, granted, wasn't exactly classified information but still. The over familiarity of this stranger was ringing alarm bells in his head, so he couldn't be blamed for his gruff response.
"Who the hell are you and how do you know who I am?"
