The sounds of the busy city echoed throughout the air. Cars zooming past on the streets, the countless footsteps of people as they made their way down sidewalk after sidewalk, and the occasional chirping of small finches blended together in a cacophony. Those who were used to these noises could easily drown them out until they were little more than faint background noise. As such, no one really noticed the two figures who entered the local mom-and-pop diner.

"I don't see why we need to go here." one spoke as he sat down.

The other replied, "Oh, come now. The food's good. Besides, sometimes it's nice to do a little people watching."

"Feh," scoffed the other, "I don't much care for the affairs of the mortals. My concerns is when they are dead. What they do when they are alive is for them to face the consequences after."
