Kieran's face lights up the moment he hears Charles' voice confirming that yes, indeed, he's here. Regardless of their limited interaction, just knowing that someone from home has arrived in Anchor is enough to lift his spirits.

He's grateful for the extra sound and immediately pivots his body to face where it's coming from, taking a few steps forward and careful not to move too much so he's not accidentally invading anyone's personal space. For what it's worth, he's maneuvering himself pretty well for someone who's only been recently afflicted with his blindness, and he doesn't seem to be in any worse emotional shape than usual.

"When did you get here? D-Didja see anyone else? How're you doin'?"

Kieran's just so darn excited that any of his previous trepidation when it comes to interacting with Mr. Smith falls to the wayside.
