He had forgotten, about the chronology. That had really screwed with his head, when first he was getting used to the Anchor. The idea that there might even be people there from his own world, just hundreds of years in the past. Reynir had accepted it as a fact, but he hadn't considered all the further possibilities. That Ami is from another world, but also the future. A future after not only Tuuri had died, but Lalli and Sigrun and Emil, as well.
In a way it's reassuring, realizing it doesn't mean any of their lives would be shorter. In another way, though, it is a reminder that everyone he loves is mortal and will inevitably die. Which... is awesome.
He rubs the back of his neck, embarrassed for not putting the pieces together on his own. And he jokes.
"No way Sigrun is gonna live to be a hundred. She's definitely gonna die in some huge heroic battle and go off to Valhalla way before then."
Only... apparently she'll make a pit stop here, to this place? Spiritually it's all pretty deeply confusing.
