Bones saw the way Haunter's expression almost turned into a smile. Leaning close to him, she whispered, sotto voce, "You can smile, y'know.

This black stuff squirts out of 'em and you drink it up 'cause it's liquid luck!" Or so said tradition back home, particularly among the Blackflag Crew, for which all black-colored things were favored over others.
