Twice a year someone drives in supplies and asks him to atone for his sins. He never does and the sins are never revealed, though there are hints at some kind of political scandal. He takes Jaxie in, gives him food and water, and nurses him into health and a prickly, cautious friendship. He give me a pannikin of tea and he sat back down and drunk his slow and methodical. I looked back at that bead thing on the shelf. It was way out of place in a hut like this, in an old dude's stuff, and he could see me sussing it out and I thought for sure he'd get on his hind legs and say fifty-nine things about it but the look on his face said that wasn't gunna happen, like it was off limits.Good chops, I said. …
