Then the stranger spoke, he said, do not fear
I come from a planet a long way from here
"Exploded. Wow." Josh nodded as he took that in, though he had a million more questions that he only just managed to bite back, the tiny bit of social tact he had informing him that most people didn't like to speak about their spouses blowing up (most people. He was sure there was some small percentage who were into that kind of thing, but it would be risky to assume Remi was one of them).
Remi didn't seem to have much more of interest to tell him and Josh decided he didn't want the cigarettes: no point resurrecting an old habit right now. "Thanks for the chat, then. I might come back if I need to talk to uncommon people. Bye." Assuming Remi wasn't offended by being called an 'uncommon person', Josh would turn on his heels and walk away briskly, already thinking of a million other things.
{FIN}

And I bring a message for mankind to hear
