[ The video feed shows a weary looking man who appears disoriented but in good health. He went from disappearing from Auriel to returning to his own world, living his life for a year, attending a somber matter in the realm of dreams, to returning to Etraya.

For anyone who knew him previously, Hob Gadling looks a bit different with a changed haircut and a beard, but it's undoubtably him. Looking into the camera, he offers a sheepish smile. ]


Hello. Uh, not that anyone probably noticed, but I took a little detour on the way back to Etraya. I went home. I'm not sure how much time has passed here since our mission to the fairy lands, but it's been a year for me. My name is Hob Gadling, and I'm just a man from Earth with some extraordinary stories to tell. Much of which I've kept to myself in the year and a half I've lived in Etraya prior to my trip home.

[ He shakes his head, as if removing the cobwebs after a deep sleep. ]

Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm back. Oh, and Happy Christmas. Or.. New Year. Whichever is closest.

Long enough.

[For Loki to think Hob was never coming back. A week is usually nothing to him, but after seeing him every day and knowing how people disappear from Etraya pretty regularly, he'd become worried really quickly.]

I will be home in about an hour. I suppose you can stop by then.

[Part of him, the rather petty part, wants to make him wait, but despite the hurt and fear he feels, he's also missed Hob and had been very worried that something awful had happened to him. He needs to see him for himself, Loki just needs a bit to trying and keep himself together.]
