The man's sudden interest in him makes Auryn suspicious, a little, in his
indignant state of being, but he's fully surrounded by cops and he's tired,
and he doesn't feel up to doing anything stupid. Besides, not having to
look at the guys who just pulled guns on him and went on a monologue about
freakshows anymore actually does mollify him a little.
Why don't we is not a question, here: it wasn't when his high school
principal said it, and it certainly isn't from a detective, but Auryn's
more than happy to have his cuffs removed, and he stretches his hands
reflexively. It's only when the detective's close enough to get them off
him that he feels it - the tell-tale accumulation of extra energy around
witches. He can't really do anything with it, he just knows enough to sense
it. His is weird though. Not just low-key. Sort of jittery and stifled.
Auryn's not sure if he should be really worried about that, or more
relaxed.
"Water'll dry," he says dismissively. "But I won't say no to a cup of
coffee, if you're getting one, Detective."
