Apr. 14th, 2017 01:08 pmMarcus doesn't consider what it might look like or what someone might think.
He's out one night and the weather is warm and he thinks he'd like to have a drink, but evenings like that are better with company, at least as far as Marcus knows. And while his general experience with friendships and other relationships have been relatively limited, while he tends to be a bit of a cynic at times, he's also found something of a rhythm here in Darrow.
At least for the time being. Sooner or later he's going to get bored, he's going to need to find something to fill his time, something that will have to take the place of being an exorcist, but for the moment he's enjoying his bit of well deserved vacation. After Gabriel he had railed against God, begged for some new task, desperate for a way to forget his failings and so being idle had nearly killed him.
They'd put him away for that. Tucked him safely into a room at St. Aquinas and had willed the world to forget about Marcus Keane, but God hadn't been done with him.
This time, though, there'd been no failure. He had saved Casey Rance. He'd saved the Pope. Tomas had saved Angela. And so this extended time without God's voice in his ear is more a vacation than anything. This isn't punishment and he's confident God will return.
For now, though, he just wants a bit of a drink and so he glances down at his phone, scrolling through the few contacts he's added, then texts Sam without letting himself dwell on it for too long.
Fancy a pint? Place called O'Malley's near the boardwalk.
And either Sam will join him or he won't.
