[ It's Jaime's turn to feel uncomfortable, though it's more on Ruka's behalf than it is on his own. Hearing about his own death has become a startlingly normal occurrence, and one that bothers him less and less. They're versions of him, not him, and he's fairly certain most versions of him find an early death. They court danger too often for that not to be the case.
It's different when he's looking someone for which that was their friend square in the eye. It's not so remote then, not like when he was talking about it with the Negotiator who couldn't care less about Jaime's death. ]
I've mostly only heard about the other me from you and the Negotiator, but I heard the most from him. He told me that the last version of me had a truce with him, which we started back up again. He also told me that I died, and that he didn't do it.
And that after I died, Khaji, um, decided to take the reins. Punish him for it.
