Jake, the owner of The Oblique Café pushed a cup of piping hot chocolate into Faith’s hands. If not for his tight grip on her shoulders, Horace guessed Faith would have bolted out the door and had run halfway back to campus by now. He could feel her muscles trembling underneath his fingers. No matter how brave Faith appeared on the surface, Horace could understand why she’d be skittish around Jake. With his gray goatee and long face, he looked rather goat-like with some demon thrown in for good measure. The battered old T-shirt, with “The Oblique Café” printed across the chest didn’t make the best impression, either. But Faith didn’t seem to be interested in Jake or the rest of the Protectors crowded in the rather narrow brick walled café. Her wide-eyed gaze remained glued on the rich cup of hot chocolate. Hot chocolate, the drink Jake served all the New Ones, the foundlings who are just coming into their powers, had soothed many jittery nerves throughout the years. But Faith wasn’t a New One, which probably made the shock of discovering The Oblique Café all the more sharp.
