Richard followed Jamie and Sarina out, and as he stepped through the door, he finally voiced the question that had been on his mind for a while.
"Exactly where are you two headed?"
"Sarina wants me to open up some sealed space for her," Jamie replied.
"Oh, okay," Richard said with a nod, then shifted the conversation to the more important matter at hand.
"Anyway, Jamie… um… what the hell happened to you?"
There was no context in the question, but Jamie understood exactly what Richard meant.
"I thought you were never gonna ask. I let a witch take it.
It's not really a problem since I planned to restructure a few things about my Existence Realms along the way,"
Jamie replied, slipping his hands into his pockets, and hearing that, Richard asked,
"This is the… fourth?"
Jamie held up five fingers and corrected him.
"Fifth."
Richard nodded, then continued.
"This is the fifth time. Do you plan this thing periodically?
