[ The soft voice comes from not that far away, where Yona has been standing for several moments now, observing him and trying to gather the courage to approach. She's spoken to Hak already and had left him only to come seek out the other presence she could feel tugging at her. And here he was, just as she'd last seen him, whole and well, and it was almost possible to imagine that she hadn't awoken this morning to vivid images of his death.
She wishes she could delude herself enough to believe that that was true. But as Hak hadn't recognized her, that's growing more and more difficult.
Still, she musters a bright - and hopefully-convincing - smile despite the lingering redness of her eyes and the shadows that darken beneath them. Approaching, she gives him a polite bow, her eyes lifting to search his expression in search of... well. Things she knows she won't find there. ]
