[ Jamie however does take her in as she moves towards him. Her face. Her hair. Her body. It's hard. Though her hair is a touch more grey than he last recalls. She's still just a beautiful as the day he saw her. But it's Claire and that's really all that matters isn't it? They're together. They're solid once more without the thread of Randall or the British looming overhead.
Time has passed here. But time has also passed elsewhere for her. The wheels in his head turning. He's far more aware of time now that he knows things like this can happen. After their last reunion. He's aware there can be quite large gaps. He wonders how big the gap is now? She must have lived beyond the time she last recalls. Or the memories were added? He's still hazy on how it all really works.
But she comes at Jamie like a runaway horse. He doesn't have time to warn her of his hand before she's on him. Arms locked around him and his body hitting the back of the couch. She knocks the breath out of him, but also his hand aches. More than aches. A sharp pain shoots through and though his arm is around her he lets out a pained sound. He doesn't push her off, but he certainly doesn't sound as happy as he actually is. ]
Easy, Sassenach. [ He tries to pull back a bit to free his trapped hand. He gets enough distance to liberate it before looking at her once more. ] Aye. That I am.
