What were you doing out late?

"What is the claw point, something nasty I think," Seth said with a frown.

"You don't think that it is a suicide point, do you," Xenia asked and started laughing when he saw him nod slightly.

"What is there to laugh, the name sure isn't a love spot, that much I can say," Seth said slightly offended.

"Wrong Seth, its actually a lover's point. just, one difference it's a lovers spot for animal lover, specifically eagles"

"What, you must be joking, eagles. Here, really" Seth asked looking at her.

It didn't look like she was joking from her face.

"It looks like, you have never seen eagles before"

"Nah I have seen quite a few of them, around my place"

"Really," Xenia asked doubtly, "Never have I ever heard of their sightings in cities"

"Yes, I too was shocked when I first saw them, apparently I realized that they came there because of the meat supply"

"That explains a lot" Xenia said as they took a turn "Though, I bet they won't be half a good as the ones here" she bragged.

"You sound confidently sure about this" Seth said raising his eyebrows.

"I am confident, that's why," she said surely "That's because the ones here are trained by the masters and trainers"

Seth just looked confused at her and Xenia laughed before explaining.

"In the mountains, there is an eagle sanctuary, where the eagles are raised, protected and even trained by masters and eagle trainers," she said proudly "They are trained to hunt and follow certain commands"

"Whats, the use of all this?" Seth asked still confused.

"Well......um....well they have their uses" xenia stammered.

"Like, what?" Seth prompted, enjoying her disability to answer.

"Like-like... you know...Ummm....okay, fine I don't know what's the use" she finally admitted "But, training them is fun" she said brightly.

"Yeah training eagles could be fun, I like those birds of prey. What about you?" Seth asked looking at her.

"I like them too though, I would personally like to watch them from a distance rather than train them. Training them is a dangerous thing" she said looking back at him.

"I guess, Nathan doesn't mind the dangers then, he must be pretty brave"

"He is, he joined the sanctuary recently as a junior trainer, he likes to be among them"

"So, it's fixed. We will be going to the sanctuary tomorrow" Seth said exclaiming.

"I don't know, I might have some work to do," Xenia said dashing his hopes.

"Sorry, I forget that you work. Where do you work, though?"

"I don't work Seth, I am looking for one. That's why I go around" Xenia said.

"Oh, I see. I guess then I will have to go alone" Seth said dejected.,

"Hey, don't say so. If you want, we can go on a mountain climbing trussel, after I come back" she said hoping to lift his mood.

"Cool, that would be great," he said with a wane smile.

They trudged on the path for a while when Seth found that they were on the same lane he had taken while going to the mountains.

"Isn't this the back road from the house?" he asked to confirm his suspicion.

"Yes, did you take this route to the mountains"

"Yeah...." He said, not knowing what else to say. They walked on a few moments in heavy silence before xenia broke it.

"Okay, listen..." she said looking at Seth "..... I think it won't harm if I skip searching the job for a day. We will be going to the mountains"

"I really appreciate it but, I don't think it is right. You need a job, to support Anna. You shouldn't do that for me" Seth explained.

"Who said I am doing this for you, I am just taking a break. After all, everyone needs a break" she said cockily looking at him.

"Really, um- okay. I can't argue with that"

"Nope you can't and shouldn't," she said just as they reached in front of the house, going inside the gate, Xenia knocked at the door, Anna opened it.

"What were you both doing this late, outside," she asked just as they entered the house.

"Could this wait till we are freshen up while eating?" Xenia asked sweetly.

"Fine, both of you- go to your rooms, freshen up and come down for dinner," she said sternly going into the kitchen.

Both of them dashed up the stairs into their room. Once Seth was in his room he took a shower and changed his clothes to a loose blue top and track pants.

Going to the table he unbuckled the watch from his wrist and left it on the table before, coming down to the kitchen.

Xenia was already there, Seth went and sat opposite her on the table, besides Anna, who filled his bowl with stew and the plate with freshly baked bread. He sipped his stew from the spoon, he has just finished gulping his sip when Anna asked.

"So, where were you both, this late" her voice was not angry but, stern.

"We were at the beach, I promised Seth that I would take him there to meet Christine and all the others" Xenia answered and herself took a sip.

"I know that Seth told me. Weren't you both supposed to meet here before going to the beach?"

"We meet at the road so, I took him to the beach as promised" Xenia explained.

"Okay, could you mind tell me where did both of you met"

"We met at the church, Anna. I am sorry, we played a football game at the beach otherwise, we would have come early" Seth said sincerely before Xenia could speak.

He saw that Anna's face changed when he said that. Turning to Xenia he saw that she had a guilty look on her face, this confused him.

"Did you both really meet, at the church?" Anna asked them, her voice soft.

"Yes, an... I went there for, you know.... That reason" Xenia said, her voice breaking a little.

"I see. I have told you not to go there but, I should have known better than that.... I understand why you will want to go there. I am sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you two" she said really sorry.

Xenia just nodded and Seth looked at them one after another, not knowing what were they talking about.

"Anna" he called out, taking the map out of his pocket.

"Yes, dear," Anna said turning to look at him.

"Here's the map. Thanks for giving it to me, it helped a lot" he said holding the map to her, who shook her head and pushed the map back.

"Have it for the time being, till you are here. You can return it back when you will be going back" she said with a smile.

"Thanks, Anna," he said pocketing the map.

After that, they had talked about the match while they finished dinner. Everything was back to normal. When they had all finished, Anna took the plates for the cleaning and ordered them to bed. Seth and Xenia both went upstairs together and to their room.

Seth went to the bed but, did not sleep. After such a day anyone else would have greeted their bed happily but, not Seth. He was accustomed to such days, it was like any other day for him, back home.

Not feeling tired he took out his phone to check if there were any messages, there were none. He checked the signal, it showed no lines at all.
