Kijani froze up at hearing her name, seeing Connor coming at her. Her internal reaction was torn between wanting to rush into his arms... and wanting to run in the other direction. It wasn't quite fear, but more apprehension at being united with the one person on the planet who knew her heart. Love was a scary thing to her.

But no one ever conquered the world by being afraid.

She took a step forward, then another, and before she knew it she was in his arms, clutching him tight, looking up (way up?) at him.

"Connor..." She gazed at him, just taking him in. "Did you grow again? Geez, I'm gonna need taller heels." She felt a stupid grin cross her face, and hid herself in his chest. Inhaling, she felt the knot in her stomach relax. Maybe she'd be alright after all. 

"I missed you."

Kassy walked slowly through the campus, just taking in the scenery. The world above was still utterly fascinating to her; the plants and trees were so different here. She stopped to look at a massive tree with little flowers, and noticed a boy sitting in it. She didn't know you could do that! But it made sense. If she could climb, she might want to stay in the green beauty of a tree. 

"Ah, hello!" She raised her hand, and after a moment's recollection about countries and greeting customs, waved to him. "A... are you having a nice morning up there?"
