[Meryl's expression wobbles, scowling even as she continues to shed just an outright ridiculous amount of tears. It's making their reunion far too dramatic for her taste. She doesn't want to imagine what she looks like to Vash right now β nothing short of pathetic and helpless, just as she'd been back when they had traveled together. She has next to nothing for the years that had followed.
Thankfully, she has more important things to fixate on beyond her own appearance. Vash might look hale and whole, but there's a non-zero chance that he's nothing more than a figment of her imagination, thanks to this strange world they found themselves in.

She turns his hand over and back once more, before finally settling on grabbing his ring pinky finger with one hand, and then his index and middle with another. She pulls apart quickly, though not as far as to cause damage.
And she watches him intently. Obviously a hallucination wouldn't react to pain! Probably.]
