"I've no doused ye with holy water yet, have I?" Jamie may be joking - or he may not. It's really hard to tell with the current expression on his face.
It lightens, though, as he can tell that Rei is rambling, and he doesn't want to make the man any more nervous than he already seems to be. "There's stranger here on Stacy, so I woulda worry about it."
At least he knows a little about Culloden, which is more than most people have when Jamie mentioned it. He looks a little strange when Rei mentions the memorial, but it's not because of the time travel. "They...still remember? That far from the battle?"
There's a wellspring of emotion that threatens to come out from hearing that, and it's a visible effort to stuff it back down. He clears his throat. "And aye, it was in 1746. I was about 17 or so at the time." He looks maybe around 20 now.
There's a thoughtful look he gives Rei after that as he mentally goes through the dates that were mentioned. "So did ye actually meet Charlemagne when ye were time traveling?"
