Once the fire was going, Will ate two oatmeal biscuits, some dried meat, and some Kendal Mint Cake, washing it down with gulps of cold water. Balthamos sat nearby, silent, and finally Will said:
"Are you going to watch me all the time? I'm not going anywhere."
"I'm waiting for "I think this will nourish me," he said. "One piece is quite enough, thank you."
He sat and nibbled quietly. Will found that if he looked at the fire, with the angel just at the edge of his vision, he had a much stronger impression of him.
"Where is Baruch?" he said. "Can he communicate with you?"Baruch. He will come back soon, and then I shall ignore you, if you like.""Would you like some food?"Balthamos moved slightly: he was tempted."I mean, I don't know if you eat at all," Will said, "but if you'd like something, you're welcome.""What is that..." said the angel fastidiously, indicating the Kendal Mint Cake."Mostly sugar, I think, and peppermint. Here."Will broke off a square and held it out. Balthamos inclined his head and sniffed. Then he picked it up, his fingers light and cool against Will's palm.
