Frankly, I have no idea. It doesn't make a lick of sense.
[Emil shrugs a bit, just looking at Reynir's clueless wide-eyed face. He'd be inclined to think Reynir's probably a moron, even now that he can talk to him, except that he doesn't know the answer either, so if Reynir's a moron then so is Emil. When Reynir explains that mostly it had been normal things they'd done, Emil makes a tiny sound of frustration. Half a day's jourey from the sentinel...it's pretty close to what he remembers last.]
Well, that's difficult to pin down, time-wise...
[But he drifts off as Reynir is suddenly explaining that he remembered Lalli and his memories and that whole dream sequence and all that, and Emil raises his hands in silent supplication to gods he doesn't even really believe in.]
You could have mentioned remembering that when you were telling me what happened before you left. God. I remember that too, learning all about what happened to Lalli when he was a kid, and your painfully obvious crush on his cousin and all.
[It's a bit flippant, because the other part of that seems more important.]
I doubt I was a mage the whole time, and I really doubt that the gods suddenly saw fit to make me one, considering I spent most of my life believing in them. Either way, I was always different in dreams than Lalli was. I can't say if it's different than how you are, since I don't think the thing with Lalli's past was a normal dream. It felt different. Usually I sort of forget, off and on, that I'm having a dream and just sort of go along with whatever's happening, even if it's weird.
[A shrug, and a sigh. Lifting a hand, he rubs it over his face.]

This is exhausting. Honestly.
