"C...Cole, that mean y...you were basically waiting a..a...t the shrine for d...days!"

She knew enough to know days had passed. Gah, how had he dealt with Viridi for that long? She was insufferable in small doses! Parsee sputtered for a second. There was a 'thanks but you didn't have to....' in there somewhere even if him listening for trouble so sounded like him.

"I...Uh... years actually... really boring... monotonous years, with stupid incidents peppered in and no memories of here. Like my life always is." There'd been a few specific things of note in those memories, but to her it had been such a reminder that it was better here, no matter what happened. "I'm... I'm ok. Just getting my bearings back."

Sometimes being oblivious in certain situations can be a blessing, but also-

"I don't have anywhere else I have to be, unless someone needs help."

It's not any sort of deflection, just a simple matter of fact. So of course it was no trouble to wait and see if Parsee was pulled back. He's considered the idea of picking a place like others have, but there are plenty of safer places he can pop into if he needs to sleep or the weather gets bad.

Years is theoretically a long time, though he's acquainted with how time can lose its meaning when you're tied to one place.

"It's good that nothing bad happened."

"Nothing awful, no. Just the usual irritations and idiocy that always happens. There were a few strange occurrences. Nothing that really hit me, but I watched them as they played out." Like that time when they were trying to ear people's worship somehow, to be the hope of the people. "Some of them were weird, and I'm not sure what to think of them. But... they also weren't really important. nothing there is ever important."
