[a tilt of her head. In her mind he's just been gone for like a couple hours.]

That's sweet, but you won't get off the hook that easily.

[then a wink and bright smile]

If those shady guys you're hanging with do anything uh. . .shady! You've got my number--we'll all come help, okay?

[and if he looks over her shoulder. . .his other comrades have appeared in the distance, congregating at the vending machine as well.]

[THAT'S GOOD NEWS HONESTLY!!]

[. . . also don't mind him as he chokes up just a bit at seeing everyone on the horizon. gods does he miss his team. he wishes they were all with him. that they could all meet his new family-- Thistle-- too]

I know you will.

[BRB GIVING ANN A HUG]

And don't worry about those shady guys.

They're no shadier than you and I are.

[STILL LIKE ????? AKIRA?? BUD, U GOOD?? but you know what, she'll just share the good vibes, and squeezes him back, sincerely, before stepping away.]

. . .not sure if that makes it better or worse, but that's how we roll, right? [said cheekily]

Well, we'll be waiting. I'll let you know if I see anymore weird foxes.

[LEAVE HIM ALONE HE JUST HAS SO MANY FEELINGS!!]

That's how we roll.

[Ann is cheeky, but Lupin is so, so fond. he lets her go and takes a few steps back, giving her a mock salute]

And I'll give you the entire story when I get back. Promise!

[wooliefrand]

Over dessert!

[SHE WON'T LET HIM FORGET--!!

But, a bit of a bittersweet smile, as she rocks on her feet, hands behind her back, before she turns to head back to the alley, surprised at the others gathering there, and calling out as she waves to them.

Thistle is free to return.

Lupin will remember their names upon exiting the door.]
