Coran was called in because as best as the scientists here could tell the energy reading was Altean in nature. Looking at the initial readings he agreed. More importantly the point of energy was ever increasing. This was much too interesting to ignore. With excitement and intense curiosity he heads out to investigate what it could be. Ignoring the suggestion that he should proceed with more caution. Whatever this was building towards he didn't feel like he wanted to miss it.

"No, I don't suppose you could have." Most people might have sounded full of themselves saying something like that, but somehow Coran avoids that tone. Talking as if he was merely stating a fact while knowing how great he is. "Those kids would have gone to pieces without my careful eye and training. But! We should get you inside. Are you sure you're alright, princess?" He gazes her up and down once more with worry. "I mean, you've been gone for some time. Are you hungry? Cold? Warm? Cold AND warm at the same time?"

"F-rreezing..." That's what happens when your cells suddenly exist again without having time to build up energy and heat. Still, she gives him a weak smile through the leftover tears. "And tired."

And food and liquids might be a good idea too, even if those senses aren't registering quite yet.

"Oh!" He quickly shrugs off his coat. Surprised he didn't think to do so sooner. "Here, Princess. Put this on." He wraps it around her arms. "And let us get you inside. There is so much to tell you."

"Thank you."

He might need to carry her, at least most of the way. It might take a few days for her strength to return, but at least she's able to keep down warm food and drink, and she really is grateful to see Altea and the rebuilt castle, whole again. She's glad to see Coran again.

He is right there for her the moment he sees her even slightly weak in the news. Eager to offer her assistance and carry her. Even if he is a bit older than she might remember and he'll certainly be feeling the strain tomorrow, he can handle carrying her back.

Even more eager is he to show her the new world that her sacrifice allowed to flourish. "I've tried to help guide our people in a way I thought you or your father might have helped to guide them."

"I know you have." A soft smile. "There's a reason Father chose you as his advisor, and there's no one in the universe I would trust more with Altea."
