[ He's not hiding that fact since Sorey's right. He's been here for a long time now. He can't recall the exact number of days, but he knows that it's been so many months now. ]

I'm fine.

[ There's really is no way of being delicate about this reply. Honestly, it seems much easier to just spill everything that's on his mind right now, since Sorey is here and Mikleo is beyond happy to see him. ]

I've been here for about 18 months. Lots of things have happened and I'm certain that for you, not much time has passed since you saw me. There is a logical explanation for it, but I doubt we want to catch up where the monsters are out and about. Why don't we head to nearby town? I can tell you everything I know.

[ Mikleo can give him the whole spiel if Sorey wants it but out here where monsters roam isn't exactly the ideal place. ]
