Ikara just holds Sarah tightly, arms and tentacles wrapped around the older woman's middle. "Just." She stops, swallows, and places the rest of the armor on the table so that she can hug with all her tentacles. "Just be careful, ma."<br/><br/>Nautia has pretty good timing, coming up the stairs trailing a bit of water behind her. She walks over to the emotive hug in progress, and gives her lovely (and beloved) spouse a hug. She gives Sarah a kiss, and then half asks, half says "Finally sending you out, are they."<br/><br/>She probably heard the whole conversation between Sarah and Ikara; waiting on the stairs made it easy to listen, as sound carried down there fairly well.
