Galen sipped at his Coke, listening to the Guardians talk about their best--and worst--charges. Most of the ones here were Warriors, not Healers, so their stories were more gruesome than most. The Reaper in him liked that, but wished they'd be more enthusiastic about it, like they were talking about sports or something. If one could hear only the tones, and not the words, it would appear they were talking about their wives' choices in paint for the living room or their grandparents coming into town....
The Watcher-Healer forced himself not to cringe at a sharp tug toward the Shifters' bar. They weren't his concern, but someone was hurt over there... Grateful to the owner-manager, but badly hurt. It gave him a headache, just sensing that much. He didn't dare try to investigate; it might very well turn his headache into a vision-migraine, and he didn't need one of those here.... He got up slowly, downed the last of his soda and slammed the heavy glass onto the table. There were several grumbling goodbyes from the startled Guardians, but no one rose. They assumed that he had to go rescue one of his charges.
