At the time we thought our friend Matthias was still there, but by the time she came, he was gone.
[ That's why it was plural friends, not singular, and it stings a little bit even now. Jesper doesn't know if it was a blessing in a way for himself, not to have to see Matthias again only to lose him immediately, but he still would rather the man be here and safe than not obviously. If anyone deserved a chance at a longer life, it was their friend, who overcame a lot of internalized hate to become a better person. ]
I hope you kicked his arse. He's a bit of a headache in Cadens.
[ Most of the Summoned there refuse to engage with him at this point. Jesper's very wary but he's also someone who is careful about not pissing off giant angry people. Until he does something bad enough to cause a real fight, he's mostly easy to tiptoe around. ]
Oooh, show me. We're probably not far from it.
[ They did enter the Horizon to escape the memories, but ended up sharing them anyway. Eh. Jesper never gives up on an opportunity to see things when he can, and the domains are more or less all connected. Why wait when you can do it now! And also avoid the possibility of slamming into another person and memory, distracted by other things. ]
That's not a bad idea, although I'd have to decide what type of wings. And make room on my clothes for where they spring up. Do you think we can fly in here?

[ Logically, there's no reason they can't! ]
