She’s up and running the second the thought processes, footsteps pounding against the floor of the airlock, nearly skidding out into the CIC.
Willow pauses only long enough to do a sweep of the people gathered, moving the moment he comes into view, a flash of green and black near the elevator-
We did it, we’re alive, we survived, we have time-!
“Thane!” she shouts, and he turns and starts towards her but she’s not waiting, she can’t wait – she just runs right through the room and flings herself at him, half-tackling him, arms around his neck and legs around his waist, laughing out loud when he staggers but catches her, gripping her just as damn tightly as she’s clinging to him.
“Thank the Gods,” Thane manages, whatever else he may have said cut off when Willow hooks a hand behind his neck and kisses him – a hard press of mouths, desperate and relieved, screaming you’re alive I’m alive we’re alive we’re together.
