"Well, I'm married to a Guardian, so I done seen the inner workings for the last few years and I..."
Dan has some feelings about this sudden upgrade in terms of what he's doing in the world. He hates to say he's glad that they don't all appear to be full-powered, tentpole Guardians holding the world up, because this world could probably use more of those. He just doesn't want the burden of immortality or that much responsibility when he's so used to being someone who just comes in when he knows he can be helpful, when he's someone no one's relying on or missing.
He's getting the sense, already, that Miguel doesn't have that sense of anonymity, that no one will notice if I don't show up freedom.
"I'm still adjusting to the idea of plenty. I been scraping by for a while and having the capacity to help out more people because I ain't scraping by on fumes and gas station food is a change. A good change, a change that's got me doing more and better good for people, but a change. It's nice to not have to worry about getting paid for anything. Nice to have that covered."
But Dan doesn't expect it to last. He expects this to be like the Rig or the Wilderlands, a chapter in his life that will eventually end before he's moved onto the next task by the powers that be.
"Anyway." Dan wiggles his ring finger, which has a simple copper band on it. "Easter Bunny."
