[ He turns at the sound of footsteps echoing in the otherwise quiet gallery, and after a brief moment of staring, his face breaks out into a smile. ]
Alina!
[ He's glad to see her, and it seems he's also a little relieved. The last he'd seen her had been at the Winter Fete, where her stunning power had inspired hope among the crowd before she went missing. Fedyor had heard of Marie's death in the attempted assassination of Alina. Like many others, he assumed that Alina had been stolen away from the palace rather than the truth of what actually happened.
He is, as they say, in a sort of blissful ignorance about everything that transpired soon after that. The General had sent him after Nina, which took Fedyor away from the events of the Fold. No news of it had been able to reach him between then and him ending up here. As far as Fedyor is concerned, seeing Alina alive and well is a happy occasion, regardless of where they might be. ]
It is good to see you. I was worried.
[ And he was, truthfully. Fedyor would be worried about any of his fellow Grisha that went missing following such drama, but Alina was, of course, special. He gives her arms a quick squeeze before dropping his hands. ]
