"Does it matter?" As his words dismiss the question his body does, too. His feet spread wider into a less casual posture. His spine straightens. His hands hang at his sides, the better to reach the guns which, he has forgotten, now contain something much less fatal than bullets. "No sense in looking. Perhaps you're too young to see that, but you'd best try. And sooner rather than later, child. For your own sake."
