The relief Dave feels at hearing her voice comes instantly, it washes over him fast and he can't hide a smile when he turns. She's safe, no brand and not looking worse for wear, though he sees that cuff.

Normally he'd shy away from a hug, but in the moment he can't help hoisting her up just slightly and spinning both of them. It's only when he stops that he realizes that was the lamest thing he ever did and he starts to feel the onset of awkwardness that comes from it.

Just gonna cough and move on. "Lady Clemington. Always a pleasure." Be cool.
