[The voice comes from far away, shouted from the opposite shore of the frozen lake. There stood Jake, the same as he ever was, one hand cupped around his mouth and the other waving to grab Finn's attention.
It would be easy, he thinks, to simply step over the ice and bridge the gap between them but... Jake's not too sure where the ceiling is in this place. Last thing he needs is breaking the sun-bulb on his first day.]
Been lookin' all over for ya! [There's an obvious smile warming Jake's shouted scolding, clearly relieved to see him. He never had much doubt about Finn making it through okay these days, but he'd been missing a long time. Finn could get a little broody about stuff like that.] Where the heck've you been, dude?
[Jake's prevailing theory was that Finn must have been mid-rescue when whatever anamolistic wavelength the Ximilia surfed picked them both up from that corner of spacetime. It doesn't occur to Jake, not even for a moment, that they didn't arrive at the same time. It certainly doesn't occur to him that Finn could have been here for three months, without him.
Maybe if there wasn't a lake between them, the look on his kid brother's face wpuld've clued him in. But there was, so Jake just keeps waving.]
