True. She wasn't as powerless as she was before. Not that there had been much 'worry' involved when she acknowledged he was gone. Worrying about someone leaving wasn't necessarily something she experienced. If she knew someone was gone, she simply knew they were gone and that was that. Sonny's had hurt more because of who he was to her. Cyrus' not so much, aside from the memories that sat on her heart. And of course she had missed Tails each time he disappeared, but that boy had come and gone so often, that she felt there was a lack of respect involved.

Then she offered to him a characteristically modest smile, perhaps a little bashful in nature - though that was likely in part to their embracing. "Both of us are difficult to miss. I may look a little different-" More akin to a diva since the host club gathering. "-but not so much that you couldn't recognise me."
