Comments

[panulus]

A regular comedy duo. "What is the strange name?"

[thereneverwas]

A beat.

"Strange," Barrow clarifies. "His name is Strange."

[panulus]

"Yes, so you said," he says, again, clearly getting frustrated. "Is it a rifter name?"

[thereneverwas]

Barrow looks around, like maybe there's someone behind him who's in on this, or fucking up communication somehow, or,

"--yes, he's a Rifter."

[panulus]

"With a strange name," he adds, a moment later, looking back at Barrow with that same confusion. "Is it a secret?"

[thereneverwas]

With this, it clicks. Barrow's mouth opens and closes, and then he smiles, comprehension and relief spreading over his face.

"It's his name," he clarifies, "Stephen Strange."

[panulus]

There's a pause.

He sighs. "Rifters."

[thereneverwas]

Barrow nods gently. "Rifters," he agrees.
