Elizabeth listened to the conversation at hand, and desperately hoped that Nika wouldnt make Aleksey ignore her again. Though, she had a very hard time not cowering beneath the glares she was getting, and very nearly cringed when Nika went off into the shadows, though Elizabeth was immediately relieved when Aleksey didnt walk away. Instead he sat and had taken her hand.<br/><br/>Keeping her eyes locked on Aleksey, just waiting for him to say something, when he did she let out a slightly broken sounding laugh but just the same had quickly hugged him none the less, much like she had the night before he left. Yet this one was a bit different. Clinging to his shirt in which she gripped with her hands from the back, she left her face buried in his shirt, sobbing again without really meaning to, though whispering, "I missed you too... More then you can even imagine..."<br/><br/>Even after whispering this she refused to loosen her cling and hug for at least a full minute as if afraid he'd simply get up and leave, but even if he were to do that, there wouldnt be much to do to stop it. When she did loosen up again she had slowly begun releasing the grip of his top though she only nestled against his chest more so, quite literally crawling onto his lap and curling up into a ball, not minding that his clothes had gotten wet.<br/><br/>When she was curled up on his lap, she simply rested against his chest, rubbing at her eyes a bit while getting the tears to stop, looking as fragile as ever. "You came back... But you hadn't come back to me.." She whispered.
