Hah. ( A very dry, very brief laugh. ) You got it in one, Fi. I've gone troppo.
( She nods at Fi, watching her carefully through the Vine. ) I'll be right there.
( And she's off! Ellie's in much better shape than when she last saw Fi, when all of them were undernourished and still reeking of smoke. Still, the differences haven't dawned on her, the relief at a familiar face and voice giving her tunnel vision. She could always run fast enough, but now she's got the health to back the adrenaline she charges through the Garden like she's got wings. Only once does she pause, just long enough to ask a cat (she'll never get over that being weird) if she'd seen a newcomer.
It feels like she can't run fast enough, blood roaring in her ears, but she finally finds Fi. Stops, stares at her, and calls out before charging right up to her. Being out in the bush so long, being so hyper-aware of attack, tackling her into a hug seems like a very, very bad idea.
Instead, she gives an awkward wave, breathing heavy. ) Hey.
video→action! (I'M PROPHETIC *A*)
