him and dropped into a chair across from Leylan. But Tyson got up again and stepped in front of the so familiar person: "Come here, let me push you, you faithless tomato, I've missed you, man!"
Grinning, Leylan also stood up and hugged Tyson, who was of the same size: "I missed you too, Tyson, terribly even." The two teammates smiled happily at each other. And the happy wave of greetings continued. After Tyson, Ray got up and put his arm around the shoulders of the black-haired Bladerin.

"You know me Ley-chan, my joy about your return knows no bounds. It's good to see you and you are the most worthy replacement I could ever wish for!"
Leylan leaned against Ray and replied: "A lot of time has passed, but our friendship remains - this is my Ray! Nobody can replace you anyway, only represent you.""Now make room for your old cellmate."
Tala pushed Ray aside with a more or less grin and hugged the young woman profusely. With certain people, the otherwise cold-hearted Russian became downright emotional. Leylan, in turn, wrapped her arms around his neck and laughed brightly. Tala leaned their foreheads against hers and they looked into each other's eyes: "And I fool had feared the worst.", He laughed hoarsely. "Believe me, I'll soon give you a tracking device so you can never scare me again."
He pinched Leylan's right cheek playfully.

"I'm sorry.", She admitted contrite and to the others: "Seriously, I'm sorry for my inexcusable departure. But be sure, I missed you all terribly."
Everyone present gave a unanimous shout of joy, all except for Kai.
The 21-year-old had clenched his fists and clenched his jaws tightly, and the tension was clear to see. A devastating storm raged inside him, which he was unable to control under any circumstances. Tala glanced at Kai and then a more forceful look at Tyson. He understood immediately and rudely interrupted the enthusiastic conversation between Ray and the three girls about Mariah's pregnancy.
"I strongly assume that Leylan is dead tired and would certainly have no objection to a good night's sleep."
She caught a glimpse of the group: "Arrrgh, sorry friends, but Tyson is right. I have a long journey behind me and sleep sounds extremely seductive. How about you let me dive into La-La-Land now and host it tomorrow like a "press conference"; all questions, all answers. Ok? "
It was Mariah who stepped behind her and put her arms around her neck, resting her chin on her head, she said: "I don't want to let you go; I've missed you so much. La-Land abhaust you can still taste Ray Kon's cooking skills! "There was general agreement, but for Kai the delay was like dancing on the volcano. But he would not be Kai Hiwatari if he had no limitless self-control to oppose a completely troubled interior. He meticulously avoided looking at the young woman and ate his meal without a word. After the last one had finished, Hilary pulled Leylan from her seat and then up the stairs.
"You will be thrilled, you have a wonderful view from your balcony", one could still hear her say.
Kai got up suddenly so that the chopsticks in the bowls clinked, and said curtly: "I'm going out."
With that he left the room and seconds later the door slammed shut.
"Crisis meeting!" Shouted Mariah and Tala, Ray and Tyson nodded in agreement.
