[Emily pulls away in curiosity, though she keeps hold of Steve's paw as she realizes he won't move from her side. When Blake lets the Pokemon out of it's ball, she can't help but gasp.]

Corvo!

[She does pull away from Steve to launch her arms around the Pokemon, who returns the hug with a more restraint cheer.]

You kept him! Thank you so much, wow!

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake watches them, unaware of the faint smile playing around his face.]

Course I kept him. I wouldn't just toss a guy you left for me to take care of.

Besides, he does more taking care of me.

[His eyes soften, and it takes him a minute to ask.]

Hey. You...you been okay? Got people looking out for you?

[What she'd said about where she came from...it sounded like no damn place for a kid alone.]

[heiresssansparent]

[Emily grins at that and continues hugging Corvo happily, whispering how much she missed him and how great it is that he's so big and strong. When Blake speaks again, she turns towards him, finally pulling away.

Her grin widens.]

Oh, yes! A lot changed since I saw you last, Mr. Lieutenant Blake. Corvo finally rescued me from that awful place. But... it turned out that the people he was working for were actually bad guys, too. They wanted to use me for bad things, but... Well, Corvo saved me from that, too. Now everything is back to normal and I'm really happy!

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake's eyes close, and he looks like the weight of the Taj Mahal just slid off his shoulders.] Thank Christ. I thought you were...

[From what she'd told him about where she came from, if she'd gone back there, he knew the odds were good that she was dead.]

...doesn't matter what I thought. The important thing is you made it.

[He opens his eyes and smiles. It's the kind of expression that doesn't happen to his face real often.]

Course you did. You're pretty tough for a little squirt.

[heiresssansparent]

[Emily has the feeling that she knows exactly what he thought, but she decides not to say anything about it. Why focus on the sad things, when they can just be happy with right now?]

Hehe. I try, but it was mostly thanks to Corvo.

[She gives Blake a smile.]

So what have you been up to while I was gone?

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake's voice gets quiet.] Tell him thanks for me.

[He crouches down so he's not towering over her.]

I've been getting by. I flew on a bat and made some friends.
