[Diarmuid can't help but be relieved when the TV distracts the boy from his questions. It would be easy for him to say that what Setanta said is true--that he is nice--but deep down he doesn't believe that is true.

If it was, the others wouldn't have turned on him like they did, would they?]

And now they fight a giant...sock monster? If they win will that mean they have defeated the stinky sock menace once and for all?

[beforetights]

Yeah, as soon as the monster blows up, then everything bad it did goes away.

[oathshackledbird]

That is convenient. So everyone is saved then...

[Diarmuid watches quietly as a really silly fight between a giant sock monster and a giant robot takes place before his eyes.]

And there it goes... No more stinky socks.

[beforetights]

Yep, the Power Rangers saved everyone.

[He looks over at Diarmuid.]

What about in Heaven? Do the monsters' mess disappear?

[oathshackledbird]

Not so easily as things were fixed there.

[He nods toward the TV with his head.]

We have to fix whatever is damaged during those kinds of fights. That is why we have magic like what I used to fix up your room right after I arrived. Of course, fixing up your room was much easier than fixing any battle location I have helped to repair.

[beforetights]

[His eyes go wide.]

Wow, cool! Then, what was the very biggest...

[He holds his arms out to symbolize how big the mess would be.]

...mess you had to clean?

[oathshackledbird]

[Actually, not so cool since those battles always led to so much pain and destruction, but Diarmuid doesn't hold the child's excitement against him since the angel knows that it is Setanta's innocence talking.]

Can you imagine a battle so large that the giant monster and robot that we just saw fighting seem very small? Like your size? That is the size of a battle I was once in.

[beforetights]

[His mouth drops open.]

That must have been a really huge battle! How did you beat the monster?

[oathshackledbird]

It was and we almost didn't win.

[Diarmuid falls quiet for a moment, remembering the battle and all those who had fallen during it.]

So many of our fellows died and then one of our commanders...he sacrificed himself so that the monster's vulnerability would be left open. We were able to defeat it, but at great cost...

[beforetights]

Sacrifice...? You mean he...died? And didn't come back? That's very sad. Were you sad because of it?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid nods sadly.]

That is it exactly. He died so that no more of our brothers would. He is not gone forever, but he will be gone for a long time. Angels who die in battle like that are reborn here on Earth and live a human life. Only once they die after their human life, do they return to their friends and family Above.

We were all sad for his loss. He was a great leader and skilled fighter. Above will not be nearly so great a place until he returns.

[beforetights]

[He crawls over and gives Diarmuid a hug.]

Do you think we can find him here? Maybe we can look for him and your family.

[oathshackledbird]

Perhaps we could look for him, but he would not look as he did when I last saw him and he would not remember being an angel. I'm not sure what good finding him would do.

[Diarmuid pauses to think for a moment before shaking his head.]

I am not sure what age he might even be. Time moves differently here than it does Above.

[beforetights]

[He nods.]

Well, if we do find him, you guys can talk to each other about heaven. That'll be fun for you, right?

[oathshackledbird]

[The angel's expression saddens.]

It doesn't work that way, Little One. I can't talk to him about something he doesn't remember. And I don't think I can make him remember. Besides, that wouldn't be fair to him. Human life...it is suppose to be a rest and a chance to learn without anything from Above interfering.

[beforetights]

[Setanta's expression falls as well.]

I understand. But...if we do run into him someday and he's a kid like me...will you be his friend too?

[oathshackledbird]

I most certainly will.

[Diarmuid's sad smile brightens.]

You would get along well with him if his personality stays pretty close to how it was Above.

[Well, they would get along or they would drive each other crazy because they were too much alike.]

[beforetights]

Cool! That sounds so awesome!

[Immediately after speaking, he claps a hand over his mouth. He's afraid that he might have been too loud.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid looks up toward the ceiling, realizing the boy's worry and trying to comfort him.]

I expect if our voices were going to wake her, they would have already. You said she would probably be up soon anyway, didn't you?

[beforetights]

[He nods.]

Yeah, I guess she'll come down soon. She spends a long time cleaning up in front of the mirror because she's a girl.

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid chuckles and runs a hand through his hair.]

They do that, don't they? Girls have quite a few odd habits.

[beforetights]

Do angel girls do the same thing?

[oathshackledbird]

No, no really, but there are a few...

[Diarmuid pauses, tilting his head as if he hears something.]

I think I hear her stirring now. Do you want to run up and ask her if she wants to come with us? If not, tell her about the food and then we can head to the park.

[beforetights]

I'll go tell her. Wait here, Mr. Der-mood.

[He rushes up the stairs. After a few minutes, he'll be coming back down.]

[oathshackledbird]

[Once the boy has left the room, Diarmuid stands up and shuts off the TV. He then moves to the kitchen to reset the table so Misaya can eat when she is ready. He is just finishing when Setanta returns.]

What did she say?
