Grrk! [A hug, yes Holmes has always been rather eccentric, but this completely catches him off guard. The Holmes he left back home certainly wouldn't do this, and that's the most recent memory he has at the moment. He manages to get his arms around him though, patting him on the back.] H-hah...sorry about that. And come on, wasn't my amulet still around? A great detective must investigate all possibilities before making a conclusion.

[He tries to put him some good humor, but he can see how upsetting his disappearance has made him. He has been with him in this world since the beginning afterall.] I didn't come back empty handed at least.
