"Didn't know he'd given it up," I say thoughtfully. "'ve not been paying as much attention as I might--been a long couple of weeks. Anyone running against you?"
"I like having new folk in town. Makes the place more interesting."
I blink at him for a moment. "It's certainly done that," I say carefully, looking askance at him. Is he joking? I don't think he's joking. Spit and staunchweed, has he missed what's been going on? I'm suddenly feeling just a touch cut off, wondering how much of the oddity of Excolo folk've been missing... I glance at Syl again.
