"You do," Aodh nodded, watching the boy smile. That was what his work was all about. Entertain people while writing down his thoughts. There was no other reason to be involved in such a fragile business with such unsteady pay.
"You're welcome. I'm glad. You hold on to that, now. Anyone tries to take that away, you come find me, hm?" He winked then. "It might be worth some money some day."
His chance for "some day" had passed long ago. This was likely as famous as he would ever be.
Again, Niven arched a brow. What was up with this girl? He felt almost as if he should stand and debate over the meaning of life that had not been meant to continue at all. Knowledge was important, yes, but there was so much more to life! Experience, assistance, affection. He chose to not. Instead, he stood and traveled to his father, tugging on his sleeve. He was done with religion and with quasi-philosophy. Aodh looked down to the boy questioningly, and then smiled. They had long since learned to communicate without words.
"It seems I'm being bidden away. It was very nice to meet you, Hezekiah. I hope to see you again some time."

The teenager stood back and watched as the young male Herald approached the author. Aodh was a guardian like him - awesome! There was another thing the two of them had in common. Hezekiah took comfort in that as he hugged his newly purchased book close to him. "Yeah! I hope to see you again, too," he exclaimed, smirking as Eliana walked up to his side.
Now standing next to her guardian, the red-string bracelet Herald flicked Niven a wave in departure. As displeased as he was about their discussion, she didn't seem fazed at all. The complete opposite, in fact; she had enjoyed their talk together. "Shalom," she called out to the other angel. Peace.
The four of them were parting ways for now, but this wouldn't be the last they saw of each other. In the back of their minds, both Hez and Eliana knew it.
