He was really there. Hell, she'd bumped into him, of course he would be but was he still him? Shaking her head to hold of his questions she steps forward, her voice low when she speaks.
"Hold still."
It's a simple test, something her father had taught her when she was ten years old to find out how long a corpse had been dead. Lifting both hands she holds two fingers lightly over his lips and one over his brow. He had been dead for a week but she felt...nothing. No sign of Death or Free magic, no lingering traces of necromancy anywhere. He really was alive and well again.
"You're alive..."
Her focused expression cracks into a relieved smile and she steps closer still to give him a quick, tight hug.
