I remember. [The oddness of Thassarian's appearance is one thing, but his actual physical state is another. The scarab wastes no time in warning him that for all that he can tell, this guy's dead. There's no warmth to him, none at all.

Different worlds or not, this discovery is a startling one, but not one he wishes to voice. It would be more than a little awkward to just blurt out, hey, the thing in my spine tells me you're dead, how's that going?]

It's good to see you came out of it all right too. [...unless he actually died in the rubble somehow, oh god, this is weird. Time to change the subject? Yes. Now's a good time to change the subject.]

Everyone bounced back pretty quick. I mean, one day I'm trying to help clear out the rubble, the next I'm, well, trying to find a sweater.
