If he remembered the orc, then he remembered that he had died, as well (and she was willing to put aside her confusion that he was alive now, for the time being).

As did you,” she added, placing her hand to her chest (feeling, remembering, ignoring, her collarbone) and dipping her head. “I am grateful.”
