Starglow Basin Man from Sayula

instead of violence, it's mock-reverence.

soto's in no position to counter, though he's irritated by the gesture.

he knows his brother better than any - and he knows that if his brother is missing, he's dead. face down somewhere with a fang lodged in the back of his brain: probably orders from higher up.

doesn't take long to get noticed. takes even less long to collect enemies.

but this man -- soto wonders if he's the last face juarez saw.

he doesn't understand the second thing osiel says, but the tone and the body language are a big middle finger. he supposes the man can fill in the blanks. he doesn't need to say much more, and until this man makes it clear he's friend over foe, soto volunteers nothing else.
