There was also that prolonged few seconds where he maybe hoped she would rush over and throw her arms around him. But, things had changed, even before he left and judging by the distance he felt, Devi was guarding.

Still, he gave her a true, genuine smile and gave a nod. "Yeah, I am. Not that I had much of a choice. You know how the City works." He shrugged pathetically and laughed similarly. "You look good. And the place looks amazing."
