"Well, thanks. It's good to be back. Or at least ... I think it is..." He frowned a bit then and rubbed at the back of his neck in typical thinking!Benjy fashion. "I didn't mean to bring it up this visit. I only planned to chat for a while and then let you rest for now. But that's too perfect a segue to pass up.
"See, I've been doing a lot of asking around and reading, catching up on what's been going on in the world and with my friends in the seems-like-a-bajillion years I've been gone. And nobody seems to know why we're all coming back now. What's more, it appears people have only just started questioning it." He sounded slightly incredulous. Indeed, Benjy couldn't fathom the idea of anyone not completely jumping on solving the puzzle of why people -- especially these people in particular -- were coming back from the dead. He'd personally been blown to pieces for Merlin's sake, and yet here he was, apparently good as new. It made no sense at all and while Benjy was of the opinion that a little nonsense was necessary from time to time, this was really pushing it.
"So, I was thinking that before the damn cavalry get impatient and take up their swords and jump on their horses and charge off to die fighting answers out of people who might not even have them, we maybe ought to have a go with some more subtle methods of getting answers first. Research, mostly. Maybe a little cloak and dagger work. That was always our bag, we were better at it than most of the others, so I thought maybe we ought to work together again. It's too big a question for just one person to answer, I think."
