"No, not all. It's good t'see you, Luke." Grin back at him, nodding. "You too." Guess is says something 'bout Excolo, but it always feels just normal being round Johnny, and I don't hardly think about him turning into a wolf at all. Guess his folks know about it, and by all accounts they keep to 'emselves out there, but still, they done a good job seein' he don't turn out weird or nothing. "Yeah, it's good not feelin' guilty not goin' home one Sundays fer services. The preacher seems okay - it's a bit different than I'm used to."
"Same," I say, taking a mouthful of beer. "My other brother, Elias - he's in Dry Run still - he don't reckon much of Excolo, cause they never had a proper church, even if I told him there was an Abbey. Ain't the same, mind, I know. Mind, some of the folks going to church here you'd not reckon to see." Seen that girl from the Salon twice now, with all them tattoos and funny make up and her hair weird colours. Dunno that that's appropriate for church, frankly, but I never said nothing. He stops for a moment, and I ain't sure what he's going to say, so I just sit quiet. "I - I heard 'bout Ares, Luke. I'm sorry, even though I know you - I mean, I know you were close."
Aw, Johnny. 's real nice of him to say, and I smile a bit over at him, then look down into my beer. "Thanks, Johnny. Can't- can't say as I expected that, really, him dying." Don't reckon he did, neither, but I guess I won't ever know. "Guess if they want to live down here with the rest of us, maybe that means they can die too."
