[While Aster had fully prepared himself for this moment, or so he thought, surprise is the first thing to register on his face. It was one thing seeing a picture and another to have that person standing right in front of you. Even Aster has trouble finding something to say, especially in response to that. Not even just the word that was spoken, but the voice behind it.
The door hasn't been shut in his face yet. To Aster, that means the lines of communication are very open and he plans on taking full advantage of it. In an attempt to ease the tense situation, he tries to smile again and it's not as half hearted as before. Maybe because he's actually, on some small level, happy to be face to face with Emil. To finally talk to him and hopefully get some answers.]

It's been difficult to get ahold of you.
