[ Wow Shinpachi, gross!! But Klavier is actually too happy (and relieved) to see him. He bursts into laughter as he sets his plate aside and grabs Shinpachi's to set it on the table before tackling him with both arms around him.

He's not usually the kind to hug just anyone, but hey, this gives him a little comfort in knowing he's real. ]

Sorry, sorry! Just give me a moment- you are real. Can't dream up those tight muscles of yours, ja?

[ He pulls back, grabbing him by the arms and looking him over. ]

Then it was all real. Zelien, and... this. Though I don't remember this CERES place at all. Did they rescue us? Or what? How did you get here?
