The homecoming

The hero is back. With a bang. And a running nose.
As soon as he got in, and after the customary hugs, he began exploring the house and familiarising and remembering everything he had left behind. And the new stuff that came in his absence.
One person who didnt seem terribly thrilled to have Ash back was Mira. She sat glum and scowling at not being the centre of attention and did not warm up to the kiss her happy brother presented her. Anyway kids are kids, and she was last seen (when I left for work) playing with him.
Ash had his lab appointment today. The result should be ready in a few days.
