Now there's an impressive accolade. [ His tone is still gently amused, but there's a moment's genuine threat assessment in the way he looks at Light, a flicker of that same incredulity. If Lazarus has a partner in crime, it sounds like more headache for him. ] New to town? It's been about a year, for me. Lazarus and I met, what was it, February?
[ Like he doesn't remember wrenching the guy back from the brink of death, and the way Lazarus looked at him in the wake of the miracle: like it was something that could be picked apart. He should have figured sooner what that would come to.
But now here he is, standing around a cake table while the birthday boy slouches in his second favorite jumper and his Saint of Joy complains loudly in the back. It might be a step or two down from his usual experience of godhood. ]
