Joel chuckled as he saw Claire's initial reaction to seeing him, and he held out his arms as she ran down the hall toward him, leaning into the incoming hug as he wrapped his arms around her, still staggering back a step or two as he laughed, giving her a squeeze as he hugged her. He had more or less expected such a reaction, she was always such an excitable woman and the two were always pleased to see one another, it just usually meant more horrible antics to come. They'd almost destroyed Paris last time, he could only imagine what was to come next.

He set her down gently with a smile and pulled his arms away, shifting them down to pick up his bags again as he kicked his door open gently. [color=554300][b]"I just got some time off last week, I remembered you telling me your brother was loving it here so I figured i'd try it out, I didn't know you were here too!"[/b][/color] He grinned, glancing past her momentarily to the other man she had been with before sprinting off to greet him, giving Alc a nod with a smile before he turned back to Claire, feeling her hand wrap around his wrist.

[color=554300][b]"Alright, alright, i'm coming."[/b][/color] He laughed, tossing his bags into the room and closing the door behind him, not even having the time to move in and look around a bit as he was dragged down the hall, laughing as Claire brought him along to her friend. As she introduced the two, he smiled toward Alc, giving him a nod and a firm handshake, glancing back over to Claire and returning her wink as she spoke. [color=554300][b]"A pleasure, Alc."[/b][/color] He gave the man another nod, bringing his hand up to scratch at his chin. [color=554300][b]"So, breakfast?"[/b][/color]
