Ford's work had been busier lately — mass death events tended to do that for the Spirit Division — but he did not expect that would be a particularly useful direction to turn the conversation, if they were looking for distractions. (Cash seemed to Ford like he was looking for distractions).
So what did they talk about, that wasn't just Ford coming right out and asking if Cash was having nightmares again? Ford tossed the stone in his hand while he considered; it skipped once and sank. "Do you think having a new Minister will change anything?" he tried, experimentally. He didn't think so, personally — he mostly thought voting was a waste of time.
