Rex learned one thing throughout recent times.. and that was... being very careful about letting 'show', what was going on with his memories and his concept of time. Yet there was no mistaken what he saw the night before, and the fact that so many years ago to him was in fact only a couple years to most.<br/><br/>In a low voice, "Phaedra... my name is Rex. I can tell you are curious and... ", an even lower voice, "I know you saw me outside last night. I don't know what's going on but I<em>have</em>been in this shop many times. Yet... "<br/><br/>Another long sip of coffee. Wow, how does this stay so hot so long? "I was a boy. It was years ago. But the people... they haven't changed. Only I have."... Taking a small flask out of his coat pocket, and taking a long swig..... "I know I'm losing my mind. But certain small facts show me that maybe even if I am, the world around me is also."<br/><br/>Intently watching those violet eyes carefully, Rex noticed shifts in their shade. Yeah, she thinks I'm crazy, most likely. Yet somehow it was very easy to tell her this.
