"Half a year?" Johnny can't recall if he's ever met anyone who's been around that long. "Christ. I'm sorry. I, uh, just showed up at the beginning of May. Still sort of learning how it all works."

He hesitates, not sure he wants to talk about the Doctor's disappearance, or mostly everything that followed. "I ran into him in an elevator in a Barnes and Noble," he says bluntly. It's not unridiculous. "The elevator got stuck and then he just vanished. Right in front of me."

He doesn't want to mention Zagreus, or at least who he'd thought was Zagreus, or the whole incident re-introducing him to Charley. Ugh. "That's all I know, really." Not technically a lie.

Time to change the subject, if he can swing it. "You want a sandwich?" he offers, holding up one of several from the basket.
