At the sharp sounding shout, Llewellyn flinched a little. He still wasn’t good with the yelling… And the grip she had on his neck was more than a little unsettling. If she didn’t remember him, and what he remembered about her was correct? This could go bad fairly quickly… Because the failsafe in her head wasn’t wrong, he did know a lot more about her than he was probably supposed to…

Not that it was his fault, but it wasn’t like she knew that now. Not if she forgot the Sphere, and everything that happened there.

Letting out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding when she loosened the hold on his neck, he straightened and snagged his hat with a free hand from where it’d fallen on the table. It didn’t take much for her to yank him along, though, stumbling after her as she towed him by the wrist and shoved him into a seat at the table. He offered a vague apologetic expression to the terrified patrons fleeing before he pressed his back against the wall beside the chair as she sat next to him.

Nope. He still wasn’t a fan of being cornered, either.

Her demand was met with an awkward sound, right… quickly. “Um… It’s not a quick story?” Still, she was clearly still trying to decide what to do with him… Which meant he should start saying more words that would hopefully explain. “By your reaction, I presume you don’t remember a place known as the Sphere, which means you don’t remember me… But uh- I remember you, and… We were friends? But I realize now that while I retained my memories, you did not. So!” He gestured, hands waving around a bit. “It was an experiment at the bottom of the ocean, and we were all sort of trapped there. Not unlike here, I suppose… But also not like it at all, this world being above the ocean and all.” He’s rambling, and he knows it.

“It seemed to think it could figure out how to bring its people back if it studied us living our lives there… We never really figured out how to fix things, though. It sent you back to your world- at least I thought it had… Before it decided to send me somewhere else. Somewhere else being… here.” Yep, still saying a lot of words here… He finally paused and raised an uncertain brow at her. “I don’t suppose you’re believing any of this, are you?”
