Ghastly was trying his level best not to think. Or at least not to think too hard. Valkyrie's casual dismissal of the man was more amusing than anything else because Ghastly knew, by now, that there wouldn't be any dangerous repercussions. Less amusing was Barney Lachlan's comment, the direct insult, well-intentioned but... not really the best thing he could have said. Luckily, if not quite surprisingly, God didn't seem to mind.

And then the parking space. Now the elevator. Ghastly focused on not dropping the teddy bears he was again holding, subconsciously trying to shift a nonexistent scarf back in place with a movement of his head against his shoulder. He panicked momentarily when he discovered he wasn't wearing one, and then remembered China's facade. He was, of course, still wearing it. Small mercies.

"I'm..." Barney was at a loss for words as they all stepped into the elevator. "Sure. You guys make a habit of this, then? Just... winning teddy bears at carnivals and giving them away at hospitals?"

Ghastly might have answered, if he wasn't trying so hard not to think. He just wasn't sure what he would have answered with.
