Excellent, he deserves to be reminded ahaha.

With Ore, there is definitely the possibility he'd go out of his way to keep in touch with him! I haven't gotten this far in ideas, but there is an underlying reason that he abandoned Forge and ended up with Unholy that most people don't know that Ore would have the chance to be privy to if you like. I just gotta figure out what the heck it is first,but as soon as I do..!

I also think maybe in the last two years he might have been more scarce in keeping in touch since he had a psycho girlfriend who is now his ex but she's so crazy he wouldn't have wanted put a target on Ore's back accidentally or anyone important to Ore and so felt it better to be safe. So there can still have been a bit of time since they last saw each other prior to boat. And when they reunite he can at least now explain the sudden shift to Ore whereas he would have offered no clue prior (but Ore probably would be able to guess he's off trying to handle something on his own like a dumb bunny rather than ask for help.)

So basically we can do... Both? C: whatcha think?
