Everyone was incredulous upon seeing him.

"Nathan… Nathan, is that you? You're back?" came a response from the forest.
That soul-stirring voice, only ever heard in dreams, echoed in his ears.
Overwhelmed with joy, Nathan wept, running pell-mell until he soon saw the figure standing in the forest. Her face wasn't conventionally beautiful, but to him it was endlessly delightful, impossible to tire of seeing.
"Elena! My Elena! It's so good to see you're alright."
She was lifted up joyously, the tough and heavy armor pressing against her, making it all but uncomfortable.
