[Welcome back, indeed. His look is still wry, and still tired, but he raises his glass at the sentiment, anyway.]
Good to be back. Not that I had a lot of choice in the matter.
[Not that he ever truly left, his body still sleeping, technically, while his mind experienced the length and breadth of that vision-like dream. Still, he feels older; heโs fairly certain those closest to him can notice the few deeper wrinkles, the longer streaks of grey along his temples. And when he casts magic, there is still that extraโฆ addition that crops up now and again; proof that whatever was experienced didnโt only exist in his mindโs eye. (No pun intended.)
He shifts a little, crossing his legs at the ankle.]
Eventful is an understatement. Letโs seeโฆ I altered the memory of the entire planet, just so they could forget a single identity, otherwise, the multiverse would fall apart.
[The fact that he can remember Peter Parker at all is something of a loophole; his Earth memories might have been altered, but his Abraxas memories still remain, which includes knowing who the kid was before all that took place. But thatโsโฆ complicated, and he doesnโt want to dive too deeply into it now.]
Later, a fellow magic-user was corrupted by an evil book and chased me and someone else across multiple dimensions. Oh, and sheโs here, too, by the way. She also got an โupdateโ.
