"Oh, yeah? We never really got to talk back in Portland. What were you?" He smiles lazily, idly at her as they chat; it's nice to get out of his head. Nicer than he anticipated. It's actually kind of super sucked to be alone constantly since he got home from Portland, especially given several people he was only just really starting to get to know vanished somewhere during the transition home. He just hopes they're not dead or dissolved between worlds or something like that.

Maybe they went home. That's a nice thought.
