Seeing someone he recognized wasn't too unusual, it was a small town after all, but Jamie looked legitimately surprised to see the detective when he turned his head. At first he only nodded back, but after a moment of thought he slowed his treadmill to a walk so he could say hello. For the few times they'd really talked, Shun never seemed like the most social, talkative person, but it had been a while and Jamie genuinely wondered how he'd been. It would be alright for just a second, wouldn't it?
"Um, hi, Sh... Shun," he greeted, sounding a touch awkward at calling him that and not Detective Kuroda. It was something he'd been trying to work on, even if it felt out of place. He hoped he wouldn't mind. "How have you been?"

Things could be worse. That was the goddamn visitor mantra, Jamie thought. If he didn't recite it to himself daily, it would be far too easy to crumble under the constant pressure. He looked straight ahead again, but kept his own machine on a steady walk, switched off his music, and wiped loosely at his forehead.
"Same..." He hadn't lost an eye, at least, though he tried not to let himself delve into thoughts of the All-Seeing or the shadowy leech creature he and Shiloh had recently tangled with. Unfortunately, his thoughts were riddled with the recent events of Other Ashdown and it was hard to pretend they didn't exist. "Things have changed," he said, "I've been trying to keep up and trying to, y'know, figure it all out—what's different, what's not."

"It's true then... Pax is dying," his voice was sullen, "I dunno if it's right to say Pride is dying, too, but... he said he's lost control of his powers and honestly he kinda looks like he might keel over any second." Even just recalling made Jamie uncomfortable in that powerless-to-do-anything sort of way.
"Do you remember Blackfriars? The building on the other side... he completely destroyed it. I don't completely understand, but I think it has something to do with Heliodora and the others dying. He said there was a seal on him and Pax that was anchored to the principals, but now it's just one person and it's-" he made a face, trying to choose his words carefully, "-I think it's too unbalanced, maybe."
