Bret didn't want to think about death. It was too depressing. But he knew he ought to offer some sort of response. "That sucks, man. You'll have to be careful." He scratched at his arm, feeling out of his element because, as far as he understood, magician's magic could be controlled more directly. "I think Cordy and Cedric are magicians." Ginny had been too, if he remembered correctly. But he didn't think that was what...

He didn't want to think about death. He couldn't deal with it.

Shampoo he could deal with. "She did? Huh." It was an odd gift. But practical and nice and surprisingly normal. Kind of like Cherry. "That's nice of her."

Wait, what? "You're going to cut my hair?" He hadn't really thought about needing it cut. And (despite the rampant curliness) wasn't it more rock and roll to leave it long anyway (despite the fact that they weren't really rock stars)?

Jemaine grunted in response and slid down the chair, already half falling asleep, arms folded comfortably over his stomach. He'd left Cedric a note with his note to Cho. Maybe he should leave Cordelia one, too.

It was comforting to know they were still alive.

"Yeah," he said in response to cutting Bret's hair, waving his hand vaguely. "You look like Jesus."

Bret blinked. "What?" He ran a hand through his hair. It was a little long but...Oh. The beard. The hair and the beard together.

"Is that a compliment?" He paused, and then rethinking it asked, "Or do you not think much of Jesus?" He didn't think a guy with such enthusiastically homophobic followers would be too happy about being compared to a man who'd had sex with two men, one of whom he was in love with. Then again, Jesus was a pretty cool guy. Maybe it was just his followers.

Not that any of this mattered. Apparently the gods in Rowan liked to 'let there be bass guitars.' The rules probably didn't apply.

It had never struck him as odd until now that they'd never really spoken on religion.

Probably because they'd never spoken on it.

"Jesus is okay," Jemaine replied, shrugging. "He was good at what he did." Like carpentry and healing disease and saving lives. And dying. He looked Bret up and down critically and shrugged again. "He lived over two thousand years ago, Bret. You probably shouldn't look like him."

Bret nodded. Fair enough. He didn't think he was related to the guy or anything. "I just think Jesus would be insulted by the comparison."

It sort of sounded like Bret thought he was a particularly bad person. And, after all he'd put Jemaine through, sometimes he did. But at the moment he had one particular aspect of his character in mind and over three decades worth of life experience that said that the more religious you were, the more you freaked out about men having sex with other men. And Jesus was very religious. Bret was pretty certain of that.
