Enub!a "Good...now, would ye let me look into yer mind righ' now? See what's troublin' ya?"
John feels his legs, which had previously been numb with distraction, being proded by tiny inquisitive fingers.John does not look at the child, he keeps his eyes trained upon the wall in front of him as he replies..."...Yeah, sad...at least you have yer' whole life ahead o-"
He pauses."Well at least yer' too young to understand what's gonna' happen ... But, Christ, ye've grown...I hope yer' still too young to understand..."Having responded John returns to thought about the horrible events that have been predicted and planning the best method of survival.

Jazelle sighed and closed her eyes a moment before opening them again, staring up at the celing, "Lessee...tha' woman comes t' mind...darkness, a sword tha' becomes a gun loaded with a single shot." she rose an eyebrow at John. "Ye'd dishonor yerself wit' THAT?"

John sipped feebly at his drink.
"Antidote to sorrow."
He mumbles glumly. After Jazelle has spoken he turns to her, feeling sufficiently inebriated to have a conversation.
"...eh? Aye, I shot at him..."
He pauses.
"I've had, ironically, a revelation...that wasn't a man...Somethin's happenin' and I can only hope that John of Patmos was wrong. 'Cause if he wasn't..."
John suddenly takes a long unsteady gulp of his drink, the liquid dripping in part down his neck due to his carelessness. Once finished he takes a few gasping breaths before continuing.
"...well it's not worth thinkin' about, not anymore. No point in thinkin' about it, not anymore...no point at all..."
Then John starts thinking about it again.
"...demons, demons; what does this mean?!..."

Angevin got up and stode over to where her daughter had wondered off. She held her close (she would have picked the child up if it wasn't for the belly) and was about to go off with Jewel when she saw the distressed look on John.
"Oh qou! Zon't qou pay any mind zo zhat man, zhat's ze first way of him zoo brake qou zown. Just ignore him az much as possible abn' qou zhould be fine."

Jazelle tapped the back of his head lightly. "Tha's not what I mean, an' you know it!" She looked at the governor with a sigh and made a slicing gesture across her throat, then pointed back at John.

The governor tilts her head at Jazelle.
"An' whaot zoo qou knoo off anyzhing, miss? These arr noot your matters."
Parhaps she was feeling a bit extra edgy because of the harmones.

John leaps from his chair excitedly and blesses himself, he grabs Angevin by the hands. He gives her a hearty hand-shake and then lets out a loud relieved sigh.
"Thank all things sacred!"
He says to himself. John can no longer contain his satisfaction, an embarrassingly pleasant smile is now drawn across his face.
"Well that's that then! The damned incubus can burrow 'imself a second nest in hell fer' all I care s'long as he never encroaches upon my person again!!"

"Ow." The governor had a face of discust and confusion. She stood stiff and drew her hands away from John.

John, too happy to be offended by the Governors inhospitable response, continues to consume celebratory drinks.
"Sorry about tha', Gov', y'understand I'm just relieved, eh?"

John looks downward in shock, he then looks back to the Governors face, then back to the ground again. His eyes widen considerably and he begins to stutter nervously.
"W-w...w-w-well...erm...eh..."
After a while he takes a seat a comfortable distance away from the now soiled floor. He then raises his glass...
"Well good luck with that, ma'm. Here's to yer' health!"

A low murmer comes down from the rafters, reaching the ears of ZamMap and John only.
"Christ help us, woman. Well, not my problem this time, find yerself a damn midwife or something."
