Well.

[ Well indeed. The Red Hand's plan didn't quite go as they wanted, but the Void didn't kill them all. That's something, right?

Of course, John doesn't say that, or much else that he's thinking about the battle or the Gem or the far worlds. He just shakes his head a little. ]

If anyone's ended up somewhere and has a hell of a long trip to get where they actually want to be, I might be able to play taxi for a while. I fully intend on checking all these new -- to us, at least -- places out, so I might as well be useful while I'm at it.

Plenty of people don't understand it.

[ But Asami seems to, which he appreciates. ]

At least, if it was dead, it should be back now. I think.

I think so, yes. Or at least now there's some time to prevent it from happening in the future.

A little more difficult when you've got no idea who possible shardbearers could be in your world, when there are millions of people there... you just have to assume you're not the only one, you know?
