[ Matt would normally feel guilty about usurping someone else's refreshment. But at the moment, his relief and gratitude are tinged only with a sense of rightness. There's something almost sacramental in passing water from hand to hand, even in a red plastic vessel. Bless us the Waters dug from earth, bless us the Waters brought in jars, bless us the Waters of the Rains.

Ah, [ he sighs, on the tail end of a long, slow sip. ] That's great. [ His lips twitch. ] Don't worry, normally not choking is a skillset of mine. Uh, I'm Matt--nice to meet you.
