Jack is carving today, outside under the trees with a view of the new grave. He is humming to himself.

Under his hands the block of wood is taking on a curving horn-shape, with a texture as if it were woven from reeds. There are almost no shavings on the ground.

He sits nearby, content to watch. And frankly to be amazed once again at Jack's skill.

"Are the older magics more difficult?"

"I have yet to complain about any of your surprises. I will be patient." He grins back.

"Is that a promise or a warning?" He laughs with him, enjoying the levity.

"I look forward to it." He smiles again, watching the carving.

"I spoke to my friend Catherine today. I told her about you."

"Surprised to a certain degree, but supportive. She has been a good friend to me for many years. Though you can probably expect an interrogation from her as to your intentions when she meets you." He bats the sawdust back.

"That you do not intend to offer me in the place of a virgin sacrifice would probably ease her mind," he retorts dryly, enjoying the sound of Jack's laughter.

He is not going red. He's simply sitting in a sunny area.

"Many mythological scholars have theorized along those lines," he nods, "though the thought of a human sacrifice in any respect that involves death is one I personally find objectionable."

"What right would I have to demand a fellow to make such a sacrifice?" he counters carefully. "If anything, I would rather see myself killed than anyone else. But I do understand."

Not something they could ever agree upon, for they are from very different cultural backgrounds.

Intellectually however, "I see what you mean."
