Course--[He started speaking quickly, easily, the voice registering before he thought about it, but then when he did think about it he stopped as quickly as he started. He stares, instead, like he's seeing some kind of ghost of a past he didn't fully yet remember (but that was by his own choosing).
See, now that's a voice he hadn't expected to hear. Not for a while. It was a voice that was only in memories and not someone he actually really, truly had felt he'd seen in years. Even though it'd only been a near year that he was in Aather before it was all over, it felt like the days were much longer. Longer, still, when the only thing you had to connect you from your life before was memories without any real context.
It's not just the voice that makes him stop, however, but the name. No one really called him Ron in Aather, it was Gryffindor. Occasionally Apple or Selnia would, but in general most people called him Gryffindor and he was fine with that. Well, sort of, it felt weird now really knowing what it meant, but that was a story for another day. Ron just wasn't something he felt as connected with if only for the fact it'd been so long and he changed more than the Ron in his memories.
So it's those two combinations that really make her being there feel like a ghost. Especially when she should be at home. The Darkness was gone, she was never in Aather, she should be home away from crazy kidnappers. Even he, too, should be but he'd decided to keep his memory bracelet put away and help with fighting the Darkness in other worlds longer. So, of course he wasn't there, but she should be. And it's part of why he stares her down, really looks at her carefully to see if she's real or a figment of his imagination.
Sadly, he's still not so great at saying exactly what's on his mind.]
shh i don't even care i haven't been hitting up nongame threads much myself either ;u; so

Blimey. Are you really who I think you are?
