[Nill does not expect the knock. She's already half undressed and running the tub for a bath. She sits bolt upright from where she's kneeling beside the tub, head snapping towards the front door.
Who--?
Okay, whoever she had let in had obviously wanted her for something. This is weird. Maybe it's her roommate, maybe she forgot something? She has no idea. Nill pulls her oversized shirt on over her shorts, hoping that this will be quick. She turns off the tap and pads barefoot towards the entrance, running a hand through her hair on the way. Her thread gives a hard tug and she wonders for just a moment before she opens the door.
All she can do is stare.
Heine.
The smile that breaks over her face is instantaneous and genuine. Heine! Her wings flutter happily behind her back and she tries (and fails) not to topple into him as she goes for a hug. She doesn't notice how strong the pull on her string is, doesn't care. All that matters is him and that he's there.]
