Did you get the answer to the last question?

Of course I did, Damien. Didn't you?

If I did, would I be asking you?

Oh… well…. No… I assume not.

I was… distracted when the teacher was talking about that part on Monday.

Distracted by what, may I ask?

Thinking about how to deal with Angels.

Oh, bother. Are you and your father having another spot of trouble with them?

You could say I am.

Oh?

Yeah. You see, there's this one particularly persistent and distracting one. And I'm not sure what to do about him.

Him? Oh… I see. Perhaps instead of using all of that hellfire and brimstone you seem to be so fond of… you should try talking to this Angel. Maybe then your problems would stop.

Hey yeah! That could work.

Pip?

Yes?

Someone told me I should try talking to the Angel that's been bothering me.

I do believe I just told you that all of ten minutes ago.

I know. And now I'm talking to my Angel.

Oh. Umm… well… I'm flattered, truly… would you perhaps spend lunch with me?

Hell yeah!
