Jamie's been looking at the door a little more curiously, these days.

It's odd, having no sense of how long he's going to be here.  Not like he's in any hurry to leave - this is one of the easiest worlds he's ever been to for a kid alone to get along in - but without the constant reminder that sooner or later, he'll be on his way . . .

Bruck is in the Bar. Yes, he's got his memory back and knows what his real name is, but that doesn't mean he's going to use it anytime soon...for many, many reasons. So, Bruck it is.

He notices the other, younger kid sitting on the couch. "Hey."

Jamie grins, automatic and cheerful, at the older boy. "Hullo!"

"I don't think I've seen you around here before." And he extends a handshake. "Bruck."

Jamie shakes the hand.

"Jamie. I've been about, but with the number of people here, I'm not surprised. I can't have even seen more than a tenth of them."
