"What kind of plot..." Aegis began to say to herself, stopping mid-sentence when she recognized the woman stepping off the ship.  Her eyes went wide, a sudden lump forming in her throat as Valkyrie turned to wave at her.  "V-valkyrie?" she stammered as she began to walk towards her friend, her mind in a haze of emotion as she stumbled around the crowd.  Her sword and shield vanished as she broke forward into a run, just barely able to keep herself from tackling the woman as she gave Valkyire a tight hug.  "Wh-what happened to you?" she managed to say, choking back a few tears.
