    "Fair enough deal," the archangel agreed. At this point, he guessed they were just going to ignore Lock and.. Shently.. whatever he was doing.
    Shentley shook his head. "Burgers. I need.."

    "Oh! Me too! Hey Quinn? Can I go get burgers with Shently?" Lock asked looking over with his bright yellow eyes. "Not now," Quinn said, "Lock come with me and bring Shently. And you," looks at the trickster, "Unfreeze everyone. I know a better place."

    Gabe frowns and looks openly disappointed, his whole body doing a ragdoll slump. "Fine, take the fun out of everything or me.." he snapped and time continued as before. Then he follows closely behind Quinn wondering where they were going and thought flying would be a much faster transportation then tagging along with some sketchy guy he didn't know anything about.
    Shently seems well-behaved for the time-being, eyes glimmering at the thought of burgers he'll get later.

    Lock follows being the slowest out of all of them. Quinn takes them to a wooded off area with a small pond to the left. he walked to the center and turned abruptly to face Shently and the trickster. Lock walked past him to go play with the water. "This place is private. I told you I would tell you what I am. I'm a man of my word so I will. I'm a Kirin."

    "A kirin? run that by one more time, kid, I don't believe you. Prove it." the trickster gave him a serious look. Gabriel may be.. 'fun', but he had his serious side when he meant business. Unless that business had to do with messing with people in an amusing way. Then he was all games and mischief.

    "I am a unicorn. Ok? In Eastern folklore a unicorn is called a Kirin. Do you need more proof?" Quinn looked at him dead in the eye. Lock was splashing in the shallow waters

    Gabriel took a second just looking at Quinn suspiciously. "Don't get me wrong, I believe you and all. just.. I haven't run into one of you since the good ol' days! But not so fast, tell me who your friend really is and then we'll be even to talk some more."

    Lock looked over, "Huh? what about me?" His cape was already off deaning him 'shirtless'. Quinn just sighs.

    Gabriel whistles and looks him over. "look at the headlights on YOU!" he laughs. "But no, what are you really? show me your identity."

    "Huh?" Isn't used to this 'flirtation' "I was just gonna go for a swim.... but I guess I can!" Lock smiles and turns then suddenly becomes a large blue dog with a long bristling leaf mane and a bristling long leaf tail as well. Lock looked up at the trickster. He had two glowing yellow eyes and four teeth, two one each side, sticking out, one down one up. Quinn looks at Lock, "Well then Now your a Nokken." Lock sat and smiled a toothy smile.

    Gabriel's eyes get wide at the transformation.. "oh, gotta give it to you, Lock, I wasn't expecting that. Nokken.. I hear from some stories they were majestic and-" The 'majestic' Nokken is pelted by Shintly. -"...although other stories say they aren't!"

    Lock is knocked over Lock pokes his head out from the one angel dog pile. He growled in annoyance. "You see that's what we are. Now what are you two?" Quinn asked.

    "The names Loki. I'm a Pagan-god. Don't see 'em often, we kinda stay in our own little world. literally. Not exactly an ANGEL but close! so kudos!" he claps slowly. "Since Pagan gods are Norse, that's probably why I like you two suckers so much. Oh yeah, Shently.. he.. I don't know. He went soulless and never went back so I just let him tango!"

    Loki is suddenly knocked over by Lock. He's still a Nokken and his glowing yellow eyes look down at him. Suddenly Lock becomes human but he's soaking wet. "Are you really Loki?! How are things back home? I haven't been home since we were drowin girls in lakes!" Lock is very excited and his yellow eyes gleam with wonder and excitement.


    "Lock get off of him." Quinn commands.

    "Woooah, woah, woah.." Gabriel pushes himself up and easily moves Lock off him in just one simple tug. Then he steps out of the water and is somehow not wet at all. "Well its been just dandy." he voice drips with sarcasm. "everyones fighting lately. But hey, that's life. one hill after another. Your kind has sort of.. left. along with the others. I don't really know whats up with that.. everyone's just leaving home all of a sudden.. Oh! there is good news, though!" takes out a candy bar, "candy is still in large supply!"

    "Oh....." Lock frowns, "Why does everyone always fight? Its annoying."
    Quinn looks at Loki, "So your a god? Then you should be able to see my Kirin form. Tell me, what does it look like?" Quinn looked with an intense accusing gaze, his eyes still mysterious. A dark green, too dark of a green.....

    Gabriel silently agreed with Lock, he was sick of all the fighting. So sick of it.. it seemed wherever he went things ended badly. Couldn't they end happily for him? just once? the pagan god is about to answer Lock but instead shoots Quinn a dead serious look, his eyes now dark as well. "No. I wont. You probably already know how much I overpower you but I don't have to remind you. Not in that sort of way. Like a circus act? Thing is, I see a lot of things. I've been to a lot of places. So im not going to answer your question. How about that?" smiles slightly. "Don't be sad or anything. Quinny.. About time you tell me whats up with your eyes?"

    Quinn flinches. "My eyes.........? There's nothing wrong with them! do you not like green or something?" He turns away and is silent.

    Looks back only because a god asked it. His eyes are green with dark pits of darker green scattered through the irises of his eyes. Some of the darker pits are larger than others and its an irregular pattern.
