[ Jaime stretches his legs out in front of him with a shrug. ] I always kind of thought she just forgot about me.
[ It's how it feels like, sometimes. He's gone home a few times, but rarely for long on either end of the scale. Unlike others, who seem to be ported in and out at a great rate until they eventually disappear, or seem to be at the whims of this world more than he's been, it feels as though he's been forgotten, as though he's more a native of this world than a native of his own. There's no logical basis for that. Maybe it's just because everyone else has forgotten him - why wouldn't the Porter forget about him too? He rarely makes enough of a fuss to be noteworthy. He's just here, steady and stalwart, as consistent as the home he's built here.
But Ruka was gone. She had been gone for a really, really long time. And, astonishingly, she's back with all of her memories intact, at the same age she was as she left. That's more than just improbable. That's almost unheard of - and that's coming from a guy who has a ledger on every scrap of Porter activity he's been able to get his hands on. ]

...I guess I can't say the same for you, though.
