[ Vex doesn't speak, but he doesn't need to. As soon as Rafa's close enough, that scent comes to his nose. Sweet, so much sweeter than a human, and warm and delicious. And familiar. His head whips around, eyes settling immediately on Vex.
Vex, whom he'd thought he had left behind in Eudio, either waiting there to be rescued or sent back to his homeworld. Either way, he had been sure they were separated.
Rafa doesn't think. He should. It should occur to him that there's a chance Vex won't remember him, or never even knew him. That should be the immediate concern, but it isn't. Instead he just moves for him, actively runs towards him. He reaches for him, not to hug him but to grab his arm, and touch his face, and slide his hand back behind his neck. ]
Vex? You are here. [ He takes a steadying breath, which fills him with more of that scent. Reassurance personified. ] I thought I had lost you.
[ Now the hug comes - quick and tight, Rafa's arms circling his waist and clinging to him. If he doesn't remember, this will get embarrassing very quickly. ]
