Ion!
[This time, he can greet Ion with a big smile, even if it hurts a bit at the edges. This is way better than meeting in the afterlife. He takes a step forward and pulls his friend into a tight hug, his face immediately going for Ion's shoulder. He's warm and solid and real. He isn't going to disappear in Luke's arms anytime soon.]
