"They are. I know it's a little hard t'get used to. Trust me," Davin says
with a soft smile. "Y'know, you're not all that different from how I was
when I was a teenager."
It's not exactly true. Davin was never religious himself, so he never
thought he personally was damned, or whatever, but his parents did. Davin
is gay and a witch. If his parents are to believe, there's already a
room in hell with his name on it. But he was emotionally abused, like Gabe.
He was confused and stunned by every act of generosity and affection, and
it took awhile to get used to it. Years later, he still isn't quite sure
how to handle things like that, but he's getting better.
"Just let 'em be nice t'ya, 'cause they wouldn't if ya weren't deservin' of
it," Davin assures him. "I know it's hard, but it's okay t'just let
yourself be happy."
