[ & then smiles widely. ]

Tony? Is it really you?

[ perks up as well, hands on his hips. ]

The one and only!

[ can't help but remove herself from anthony to give tony a hug... and then a hard PUNCH to his shoulder after she pulls back. ]

YOU! You didn't even contact us once when you were away!

[ recoils, holding his shoulder. ]

I DID TOO! I sent you guys at least two postcards each! [ whines in anthony's direction. ] Help me out, here!

I only remember getting one.

Gee, thanks, you're a ton of help.

[ takes tony by the shoulders and shakes him, still wearing a disgruntled look. ]

Well it's true! You're a jerk! I hate you!

[ whines at her pathetically. ]

I couldn't get ahold of a phone! I was traveling too much! I'm sorry!

[ humphs and lets him go, crossing her arms over her chest as she turns away and sticks up her nose. ]

[ there is a small twitch at the corner of his lips as he gives tony a reassuring nudge & waddles close to alyssa to peer at her expression. ]

Do we need great big hugs and kisses?

Yes!

[ & then proceeds to latch onto him, face planted firmly into his chest. ]

[ watches, crossing his arms over his chest. keeps silent up until he opens his mouth and says: ]

Man, you guys make a really cute couple. Just sayin'.

[ wraps one arm around alyssa, giving her a short nuzzle to the head. then looks up at tony, not bothering to respond as he opens his free arm toward him to complete the group hug. ]

[ blinks in confusion for a moment and then lifts a hand up. ]

Oh, no, I'm cool!

[ face falls a little as he lets his arm drop slowly. ]

She won't bite.

[ looks down at alyssa, who looks up at him with a grumpy slash borderline-possessive expression on her face. ]

I dunno about that...

[ looks down at alyssa, spots the puffed cheeks & blinks, confused. glances back up at tony. lifts his arm again. ]

It's safe. I'm the one with rabies.

[ looks up at the ceiling in a long-suffering manner, face barely contorting into something uncomfortable. lets his eyes go back to them after a moment, pointing towards the refreshment table. ]

Actually, I'm still thirsty. Want anything? Since flat-chest down there seems to have forgotten to bring back anything.

[ doesn't hesitate in lifting her arm to punch tony in the stomach. pulls back her fist and sparkles up at him. ]

What was that? "I'd love to get you two something to drink"? How thoughtful of you!

[ holds his stomach and bends slightly, clearly in pain. ]

Can we please stop with the punching... I don't think I can take much more of this...

[ arm drops again with resignation this time, especially upon catching that uncomfortable look on tony's face. hides his disappointment with the surprise of the sudden punch to his friend's gut, eyes going a little wide. gives another pet to alyssa's hair & then tilts his head at tony with a slightly apologetic look. ]

Do you need an escort?

[ perks up immediately, as if he weren't in pain just a second ago. ]

Totally!

[ nods & stares down at alyssa, giving her a little nudge as well as a reassuring squeeze to their hug before pulling away carefully. ]

Snailman needs our help.

[ pouts and lets go of him, replying in a somewhat child-like tone. ]

Okay...

[ takes the initiative to grab a hold of her hand. then turns to fix tony a stare & after a minute's debate, doesn't offer his other hand. ]

In T-minus 5 seconds, we face the armies of Mordor. Remember to be brave.
