[Three days in stasis, only to wake up with years more memories you had never had before? Lord John shakes his head at the thought of it, so caught up in trying to wrap his head around the idea he nearly misses the rest of her words. Studying in Boston? He frowns slightly in puzzlement at the phrasing of it, before filing it away for later.]
Well. I can't say that the thought of it is comforting. Nonetheless, I'm pleased to hear that you have returned to us from stasis. To your family.
[He offers her a soft smile.] Your father is especially pleased to be able to make your acquaintance. As odd a sentiment as that may be. He has told me something of the circumstances.
[And he is familiar with some of them of his own accord, having been at Culloden, the warden at Ardsmuir, and then Jamie's parole officer at Helwater.]
[ Bree isn't completely sure what John knows or doesn't. Of time travel, she's sure he knows nothing. Still, she smiles softly and with nothing but fondness. ]
My mother told me so much about him once she realized he was alive, but it was nothing like seeing him for the first time.
[ That first hug that felt safe. It wasn't what she thought it would be; awkward and not knowing what to do, how to act. ]
I think he's been nervous; he doesn't know what to do with an already grown child.
