 There had once been a lake with a neighboring forest, a refuge for the man in his youth. As a child he would run off and play among the trees for hours on end, his mother didnât seem to care as long as he was home before the sunset. Lips tucked upwards at such memories, even as the cruelty of reality sat in those woods always offered him a piece of heaven.
 âSeems so, for once I donât feel that tension of being watched.â
 It was almost like the heavens and hell had called a truce. Each side slipping back into their respective corners of the universe, allowing the pair a moment of peace. At the very least they were letting Jacob catch his breathe and prepare for round two.
 âNow, thatâs something I havenât seen done in a long while.â
 Of course he was commenting on the grass whistle, he couldnât recall doing such a trick in his own youth but the other children had. Some could make the noise sound somewhat bearable and the others created shrieking sounds that drove others to cover their ears. The wonders of youth were now lost to time.Â
 âBig cities have some appeal to them, thereâs plenty to do but thereâs never any peace.â
She couldnât help but smile as he referred to her little whistle. She was a child in a time very different than this one, for all she didnât look it. And with no family, she also had no real toys or things to entertain herself with. When she wasnât working for the Academy in a twisted sort of payment for being taken care of, she often made a little whistle like that to make some music, or made crowns of flowers for her sisters. Silly things none of them could do these days.Â
âThereâs too many trees, and too many buildings. The last time I was in one, I felt like I couldnât breathe for all the things crowded around me,â she said, beginning to pluck a few more strands of grass and plait them together, if only to have something to do with her hands.Â
âYou fight monsters, and like both cities and the dark country roads. Is there anything youâre afraid of, Mr. Angel?â she teased him gently. She wasnât attempting to dig for any sort of weakness of his, she just liked teasing him.
