Oh, good. Sometimes when Iuliael's tried explaining things it's just resulted in blank incomprehension. He's been working on getting more concise, on not explaining every little thing. Doesn't mean he's always managing it.

"People act like memory's so solid, but it changes and washes away so easily. Some of it you don't even notice. I'm sorry that happened to you, though. It is scary." And Steven's at least part human and probably gets older, too. He might die or his people might die before he figured out where to go. Iuliael does have enough self-awareness not to say that thought out loud, at least.
