Where Angels Dare to Trod

[unfallen]

Islington is walking along the ship.  It is a steady pace.  But slow.  If people didn't know better, It would like like It was floating or gliding.  If you run, It will walk.  If you stop, It will continue Its pace.  Never changing, never pausing.  As if by walking, it can change something about this place.

It's garments seem to be made of light itself.  As It goes along, It is humming an ancient tune: The Lyke Wake Dirge (As sung by Benedict Cumberbatch)

And that's the interesting thing about this particular Angel: It seeks neither to offer help nor the counsel of others. It is simply walking.  Perhaps It is measuring the ship, perhaps It is weighing the integrity of the people gathered.  Whatever the reason, It continues on Its journey.  Simply walking....

He was adorable. And clearly did not understand the universes cycle of creation and destruction. "Not true. Nothing is outside the influence of life and the cycles. Not chaos, death or life itself. Or those who created them. How can those who create understand their creation if they are not tied to the same influences?"

It chuckles. "We create the influences, they must abide by our wills."

It thinks the concept is rather simple to understand, so does not attempt to explain further.

"Clearly our universes are bound by different rules."

Trance tried to point out logically, to the child. She still thought he was wrong, but sometimes you couldn't argue with stubborn children. She was friends with Harper, after all.

It just smiles. It knows what it means when creatures start to talk like that.

"Some rules, indeed are different by design. Other rules are the same throughout."

Now she remembered why she ran away. Most of her family were idiots and their ideas about the universe puerile and downright nasty. And then there was Islington. She didn't know much about him, but clearly he hadn't visited that many different universes.

"Often rules change by perspective and intention."

[unfallen]

"You are misguided. It is not the rules that change, simply the interpretation of those rules that changes."

Really, It has been around long enough to know these things.

Trance leaned over and gave him a cute little kiss on his cheek, and then reached out to pat him on the head, before skipping off. There might have been a little giggle in there.
