Well, none that are like he was.... He was here before as himself, but... well... I don't know. It was so brief and everything was a mess, it's hard to tell if he would be the same once more.
I most certainly have. But now... imagine that the imaginary friend from the imaginary world you created... was suddenly here... And I don't mean as in... just showing up like a spirit like the animals from the tea. I mean here, linked to a god and everything.
Even for Asgard, doesn't sound the tiniest bit strange?
Well, he has the power to bring things to life like you do so maybe he brought life to your imaginary friend. [Though he is curious what Freyr would say on the matter.]
Sure! Kids have a lot of power. Even the Guardians can't survive without our belief in them. When I was the last kid in the world to believe in them they were really weak. Tooth couldn't fly, Bunny was tiny and Santa could barely lift his swords.
Jamie, why do you think adults forget something so important as belief? The guardians are hundreds, some thousands of years old. You don't think we'll stop believing, do you? I don't ever want to stop.
Well I didn't say they weren't. Although I think we're thinking of two different bunnies?
[That makes him frown.] I think it's because they start to worry about different things. Getting a job, having a family, money - things like that. As kids we don't have to worry about stuff like that because we have parents or guardians who do it for us. We still get to dream about what sort of job we want or the family we can have and we can spend money on the things we want instead of the stuff we need.
[Jamie pauses.]
I don't know. But I don't ever want to stop believing either, Alice. And I want to help other people believe in them forever.

[A small shrug of his shoulders.] I dunno. So far I haven't seen any other large animals walking around.

Jamie... did you ever have an imaginary friend? And I don't mean like Jack who was actually real but no one could see him?

[Depending on how fast they grow up.]

Are they linked to the same god as you?

Well, I'm rather sure my making my own dragon is far more curious than a talking rabbit.
no subject
I don't know, both are kind of interesting.
no subject
I didn't say uninteresting or less, simply more curious.
no subject
Still both pretty curious.

The Easter Bunny is the only one I know of.
