Ioannis had a happy smile on his face as he greeted Dimitri. He then gave me a brief kiss on the lips while putting Iosef on my lap. My father also deposited Ianthe on my lap too since the children hated being apart from each other. Ioannis then sat across from me and Dimitri instead of sitting on my other side so that it would be easier to talk to each other. My father and mother were next to Ioannis while the other four continued standing but this time a bit closer to where everyone was seated.
Ioannis was the first to break the ice and greeted, "It has been quite a while since we saw each other, Dimitri. How has everything been back in Hoffen? How are your grandparents back in Arista?"
