There's folks here I know who git shit for havin' any kind of powers at all, back where they come from, but they ain't rounded up like that less'n there's some extra special assholes makin' trouble. 'Course, all's Nori c'n do is run super fuckin' fast'n throw lightning'n shit, not bring in demons."

He shakes his head again.

"Guess that means congratulations on bein' picked for the Wardens. Sounds like you got the better deal."
