"Oh no, nothing of the sort, that happened a year or two after we parted, though I do wish he had warned me. I had no idea what had happened to me at first."
He did not want to get Benjamin in trouble with his friend no matter how uneasy he still was around the man.
"It can be hard to warn someone," Duncan pointed out. "Unless they witness you revive, they're note likely to believe you. Methos hasn't been big on risking being recognised for what he is for as long as I've known him... I'd be surprised if he was any different back then."
And could anyone really be the same after this long? But that was a question he ought to discuss with Benjamin. If they still were the same they would both enjoy it a lot.
"Deep down where it matters you'll always be the same person," McLeod said. "Filtered by more and new experiences maybe, but at the core, you'll always be you."

"I liked him," he said more to himself than to McLeod. "Even admired him in a way. I thought I knew him."

Yes, that did make a huge difference. He'd never again be that innocent.
