As she was lead into the room by the little girl, Rithrynn immediately identified Sherpa in the middle of the crowd.

[i]"It's actually him!"[/i]

As she recognized him, her heart skipped a beat. But she managed to restrain herself until the small crowd had left the room, even though her eyes were stuck to him all the way through.
As the guard left the room, Rithrynn immediately rushed forward; spreading her arms before she captured Sherpa in a solid hug! Holding him close to herself, she squeezed him some more before uttering to his ear.

"I've missed you! ... "

For a moment, she had actually doubted whether she was even going to meet Sherpa at all. It had taken ages to find him in the first place, back in the sewers. It was quite hard to imagine that he was holding out in a simple house, so close to the Cathedral even!

"I was worried you'd disappear like last time!"
