"Pretty much," George said. "One of the perks of being a Reaper--that which does not kill you just hurts a fucking lot. But you get better in a hurry. And you can drink all the tequila you want without getting a hangover."
"If, you know, we had any tequila."
"And Rube's not really so bad. He has a hard job, and I didn't make it easy for him. I wasn't happy about being dead, or being drafted to replace the guy who reaped me, or--anything, really. I was a real pain in the ass."
George paused, surprised by her reaction. When had she mellowed so much? Maybe about the same time Rube had, she supposed. Something had happened to him not long before he sent her and Daisy to Australia. He'd become a lot more relaxed, less rigid in his views on how his Reapers should behave.
Working with him had become almost...comfortable toward the end.
