Few places were considered desirable enough for the likes of Kouyou to bother traveling to for the sake of his idle time when away from teaching brainless brats. Rather than publicize his hobbies and non-teacher character, he vied for the privacy of his spacious room on the academy campus. However, on those days when an outing was needed, the benches near the penned up pegasai and unicorns were his destination of solitude. Frankly, it was rare to see students milling about there. 

Could angels ever tire of their heavenly task? It was a question that seemed almost taboo to even thing about, especially for an angel who was still in dedicated service to the Lord, but... increasingly there was an angel who felt little bits of doubt creep into her thoughts every so often. For so long, she'd always stood resolutely at the Gates of Heaven, blonde hair shining under the never-ending gleam of daylight. She took her job very seriously, never slacked, and ended lives without a second thought when the time came for action. She was a perfect guardian, and she felt a certain pride in that fact. 

Chaerin excelled at what she was created to do... but there were times when she felt excluded from the rest of her heavenly family. Today, if there was really any way to count 'days' in heaven where light was always shining, she felt particularly melancholic from her position standing upright with her back against the Tree of Life. As someone who was supposed to keep to the Gates, Chaerin wasn't often allowed to enter Heaven itself, so she spent most of her time in the gardens that blanketed the entrance to heaven. Most people had heard of the 'Garden of Eden', but there weren't a whole lot who understood that it was divine place that doesn't touch earth.
