Krik and Christine
"I wondered about that," she said. "I knew that you'd gone through a little more when you went home. I guess it does feel a little strange being back. I'm glad to see you though, it wasn't the same without you." Christine had missed Jim even though he hadn't been gone that long at least in her time, it had been longer for him it seemed. The whole time compression thing was complicated and she didn't entirely understand it so she just accepted it and moved on.
"I checked on Molly before I came over here," she said, knowing that he'd want to know about their friend. "she's better but I hate that she got hurt. I had no idea that Quiddith could be so violent. I also didn't even know it existed before this week so I guess that's a big part of it."
