[ Gerry's ties to Beholding have only grown more tenuous since waking up in Deerington. He's not sure if that's because he's now properly dead, or because he's farther from the Eye's influence, but either way, the effect is the same: his ability to tell when someone's been Marked is wildly inconsistent and vague, even at the best of times.

Gerry isn't sure what exactly has claimed this stranger, but he does know the stranger is in danger. Gerry doubles back, and grabs the back of the man's jacket. His gaze is intense, focused: as if the two eyes in his head and the eyes tattooed on his hands are looking at this very strange stranger.
With all the urgency of someone about to warn someone else that they're walking into a burning building: ]
