I AM.

The silence before he responds doesn't actually bother Sora. It's not like he'd said any of those things for the purpose of hearing something back anyway. He'd said them because he'd wanted them out there and for Jamie to hear them. There is no actual expectation for Jamie to respond. But that doesn't mean he isn't really happy to hear something back, anyway.

Whether he picks up on Jamie's embarrassment or not, he just tightens the hug slightly in his own response to Jamie's words. And then isn't quite sure what to do himself. Staying this way is nice though, and is his first instinct. There was something that just felt wonderfully safe about being close to someone after... whatever the heck it was he'd even been through, he still doesn't want to think on it too hard.

And yet his mind goes back to the messages on his phone, remembering the timestamps on them in his head. "Was I really only gone a few days?" He finally asks, voice quiet but curious. Still relieved, yet there remains a touch of sadness in it that he can't completely shake. He's relaxed, but there's a feeling that he's forgotten something important. "...It feels like a lot longer."
