Re: Lake - Janus/Atticus
"Seems like a bad business model to make you pay for the things required to do your job. Even Republicans don't expect that." Was genuinely curious. Spent his weekends and nights as a group moderator for a bunch of kids from the school. They were amateur paranormal hunters. Was a topic he, Atticus, was interested in. This was a first hand experience the likes of which he'd never had before. His haunts didn't count. Weren't particularly helpful. However...
Pointed up toward the ridge, where the haunts were huddled. "Haunts don't like you. Makes you convenient." Again, with that nearly-lazy smile. Charming, even, in its own way. "Not saying Billy can't take care of himself, but I've read about rapes, kidnappings, attacks. All his. Sounds to me he needs something." Was just an observation. Atticus had a fond spot for kids. And, a nod: "Gets back in the boat."
Leaned back comfortably, elbow to rock. "Want to define that 'ah huh' for me?" A pause, and he dragged the elephant into the center of the room. "Louis says I ran my 'roommate' out of town. Billy says I wouldn't commit. Ran you both off. That true?"
