"You'd think I would be, for as long as I was in the outlands," He sighs, scrubbing at his face a little. "I don't know if it's just getting back to Earth and I fell out of the habit or if it's just how close together this all is." He shakes his head. He doesn't really have a good answer to that. Maybe it's feeling like he has more to lose than his un-life.

Though, something about what Ekkehardt says gives him pause. He looks to the man, brow lifting. "You've been the outlands a lot too?"

Were they all just from the outlands? That's possible he supposes.
