"Yeah," Major agrees, though the lingering disappointment in his voice is more telling than what he manages to say. The truth of the matter is that, as he is right now and with the memories he still carries around in his head, he'd be at her side at the first hint of her wanting him there. As friends, as more, as something in between. It didn't really matter to him. She'd been too big a part of his life for him to ever be willing to let it go, or not fight for it, if it ever came to that.

But he's also not going to push her to the kind of resolution he wants deep down. He's not that type of guy. Still, if she ever sent out his Bat Signal, there'd be no question of whether he'd answer it.

"Yeah, you're right," he finally tacks on, this time sound a bit more bolstered by the thought. "Even if we weren't in such a tiny village, it'd be pret-ty hard to get rid of me."
