Re: [Carriage House: Steve, Janus, Atticus]
[Watched the hugging. Was slightly surprised by it, but just watched from his slouch. Was reminded that he still didn't know precisely how deep Steve and Janus' relationship went. Knew what Janus said during the situation with memories; had no reason to believe that wasn't true. This confirmed that. Janus was worried about Steve. Not that Atticus hadn't expected that, but Janus was hardly ever that direct about concern. Was noted. Janus' reaction to the 'what the fuck?' was noted too.] Was asking about the ash, Janus. Calm down. It's OK. [Was a repetition of what Steve had said only moments earlier.]
No idea who shot me. A wolf killed someone. The town was on edge. Shooting at anything with fur and a tail. Nothing permanent. [Wasn't. Atticus was nearly back to pre-injury. Another day or so and all that would be left was the scars.
Sensed the apprehension too. Was surprised by it. By the fact that Janus thought there was something to be uncomfortable about. Steve sat, taking up most of the space, and Atticus sat forward as Steve talked about the government. Wasn't surprised. Knew Steve's past. Glanced up at Janus, who was sure to have strong feelings about the government.] Still, Steve, you need a shower and some rest. If PJ went off on her own, then I know where she'd go. Maybe go wash up, and I'll see what I can learn. [Would give the two men time alone together. Seemed like they needed it.]
