Noah looked sheepishly at Hild, and leaned in to greet her with a kiss on the cheek. It was something he liked to do now, after that other Darrow, after Dorian and Adam helped him. It was a reminder that he cared, just in case.

"Sorry," he said quietly, covering her hand with his warm one. "I didn't mean to startle you at your party, Princess. I can come back later."

He was glad to see her with people, as she, like Krem and some of the others, seemed to be having a hard time integrating themselves back into life as it had been before the other Darrow. Noah was doing his best not to let himself sink too deeply into it.
