two thin, pale and lanky arms suddenly snuck around mason turning into a tight hug, the laugh of sebastian and another were clear in the back ground as it tightened like an anaconda. "Ooooooooh mason it's been so long, I though you'd died for sure" the voice of ibuki nearly cheered as carson was seen attempting to pull the girl off, she showed surprising strength despite his and Sebastian efforts. "sorry mason but when they learned your still pink with flowing blood they couldn't help but see you" he said laughing heartily afterwards, no longer trying to stop ibuki. "mason, have you gotten taller, darn now I really am the shortest of us all' carson snidely remarked, still trying to tear the girl off.
