What doesn't kill you.

[ John knows it's not the truth. What doesn't kill him is just going to catch up with him later. When the night is cold, or the weather is damp, he aches all over. It's a toss up what keeps him up at night, his shoulder, dislocated at least twice, or the bullet still lodged in his iliac crest.

He shouldn't be smoking, what with his decreasing lung capacity, and ever-precarious health, but he picks up the pack and shakes out a cigarette nonetheless, catching it between his lips. He hasn't smoked since Marcus quit, after his first heart attack and subsequent descent into vitamins, juices, and cardiovascular health. John had quit in sympathy, and to spare himself the lectures on second-hand smoke and cardiovascular fitness.

But Marcus was gone, Spike was offering, and even John Wick has moments of weakness.

He lights up with practiced ease, taking a long drag and settling back in his chair. He exhales in a stream of smoke that lingers over the bar, and raises his glass in cheer. ]
