Hearing Parker laugh again is elating, and at the same time, the particular sound of it plants the seed of a horrible suspicion. The dead wouldn't be brought here with the injuries that killed them-- surely?
Surely?
"All right, all right," he huffs at that first line, a pantomime of offense that wouldn't convince anyone and isn't meant to. It's as if the months, nearly a year, between now and the last time he and Parker talked, are vanishing: collapsing in on themselves like something that never was and never should have been. If this turned out to be the ship's dreamland again, it would be a struggle to want to go.
"Dionysus, but he would never cut a man off at the bar." You wanted a real answer from a nerd about this right? Because you're getting a real answer from a nerd. "If I say Zeus then I fear the Erda will hear me and, and decide you need to be turned into a swan."
