Before Belldandy had even straightened all the way, Urd was there to hug her close. "...yeah," she finally said, her voice soft. "Welcome back." There was so much she wanted to say and talk about now, things she had trouble putting into words. She wanted to tell her how much she'd been missed, how much Urd realized she needed her around. Even if Urd was supposed to be the strong, guiding eldest, she knew without a doubt that she was only as strong as her sisters inspired her to be.

She couldn't voice any of this, but knowing Belldandy, she'd still understand the words that weren't spoken. Urd pulled away slightly, more composed. Her hands still on Belldandy's shoulders, she scowled slightly. "Where've you been? We've been worried sick."
