[ Without much of a warning at all — no friendly greeting, no calling of Liem's name, not even the sound of a person's footsteps approaching him — Howl suddenly appears at the dhampir's side, grinning widely, smacking his hands down on the patio table he's seated at. Dressed in a black and purple coat that trails past his knees, the wizard is practically glowing with beauty. (Or rather, beautification spells, but what's the difference really, if most cannot tell the difference?) ]

Liem! There you are! I'd heard you'd arrived with the others!

[ Howl pauses for a few seconds, looking him over. Seemingly satisfied with the healthy and whole state that he looks to be in, he continues enthusiastically. ]

Stars above, it's so good to see you. To see everyone! May I take this seat?
