[Whatever the Promised Day had, whatever the price, all of it had to work out, if he got Al back. Finally, after all these years. There's a surge or relief and exhaustion all at once in realizing he does eventually truly keep his promise to Al.
Still, there were a couple of reasons he hasn't just immediately launched himself at Al. Firstly being that he is still obviously processing this development but also he vividly recalls how scrawny that body was at the Gate. Especially with the auto-mail, part of him might be scared to hurt Al like this.
Not that this evidently stops Al. Ed blinks, a soft gasp emitting from him. How long had it really been? Hugs or attempts at it with the armor, they couldn't really count. Not compared to this.]
