I don't know either, but I will allow myself to be selfish for a second and say I'm glad to have you here if you'll forgive me. And Rao [An awkward laugh as he breaks the hug, placing a hand on her shoulder as if to ensure she won't poof away.] You recognize me, you know who I am. That's such a relief as well.

Just ask whatever you wish to know, I'm sure I'll get over it eventually.
