[Shiro had texted, and Will is...really grateful for that. One less thing to fret about. He's already awake -- paleblood means weird vivid dreams and not much sleep -- but his sleepy face lights up at the sight.]
Hey! [His voice is hushed; Mike and everyone are still asleep.] You're -- really back!
Yes. I'm really back. From what Takashi tells me I was gone for a few months, but for me it was just... I saw you all a few minutes ago. It's a little hard to wrap my head around.
But it's also not important. [Not right now anyway.]
It's really good to see you again, Will. [Looking well even, if a little tired.]
Really? [Will hesitates for a moment, some of the tension leaving his shoulders.] I'm...glad you didn't have to miss us for...for very long. [He'd rather be the one to deal with it, to walk through the loneliness.]
You too. You look...the same? [Isn't that what you're supposed to say when you're reunited with someone?]

[A short laugh.] I should. I haven't aged a second since the last time you saw me.
[And then he realizes--]
Wait, why are we talking quietly?
