[Crossing her arms, she doesn't seem exactly thrilled, but somewhere (deep beyond all the electronics and sarcasm) she's relieved to know he's still alive and breathing— if not a little older.]

[He crosses his arms as well, but he doesn't look upset. He actually smiles.]
Why? Did you miss me?

There's a tight huff from the other end of the line; Sombra's arms knitting together as she folds them harshly across her chest.]
Maybe. A little.

The grin on his face is only a little shit-eating. It's also genuine.]
I'm glad to see you too, Sombra.

You bring me anything back from your trip through time?

But while I was gone, I did rediscover a lost pirate colony thought to be mythical for centuries. I could draw it for you.
