[Gabriel's waiting near the front of the tavern, and though he does not notice her at first, when he does, his eyes light up like he just saw Serenrae descend.]

Alexis!!! I'm so glad you're okay! Do you need help carrying the wood?

[He pulls her into a hug, a mist of tears in his eyes]

I was so glad to get the message from you, it would've ended me if I never got to see you or the others ever again. I missed you so much it hurt.
