[It's impossible for Zevran to define how he feels upon returning to Mayfield, after years away from the place. Of course, upon returning to his own world he had no memory of ever being gone, so he could hardly have missed the place or anyone in it - it was as though it had never happened at all. He had simply picked up his life as though he had never left.
But now, upon returning, it all comes rushing back, and he's not sure how to deal with it. How long was he gone on this end...? Probably not nearly as long as it was for him, that's for certain; the last time he left, he'd been gone in Mayfield for a day but had been nearly a year in Thedas failing to murder Grey Wardens and helping to defeat a Blight. Are his friends still here? Is Olivier?
Is he happy, or horrified?
In any case, 1669 Nelson, your elf assassin father/husband is back! Looking a bit older and a lot more thoughtful as he prowls his unsettlingly familiar home away from home.
Of course, eventually he has to check the surroundings beyond, as well.]

...so! Who missed me? [As usual, he's making light of something that's far more serious than he's letting on. Some things are a comfortable constant.] How long have I even been gone, for that matter?
