[He doesn't want to leave just yet although he knows he should.
A year and a half is too long to be away from school what with finals just around the corner. Asher hardly remembers anything from his classes anymore and he's two years older than he was, and yet he will return and no time will have passed. Will his body have changed?

Because Asher, while far from the first goodbye she's had to experience, isn't one she wasn't ever ready for ( but then, maybe she wasn't ready for any of them at all ). She squeezes her arms around him for a moment, before returning to a looser hold. Just because she — because he's shown that she can.
But she holds her ground. Tears are unbecoming for a time like this. ] That's good news, then. [ For him to return. She's not distancing herself away from him just yet, just ... speaking the facts. ] What troubles you?
