The point in history wasn't what Tanith found fascinating. Nor was the amount of time - she was a sorcerer, she'd had friends who were born during the Renaissance, and liked to talk your ear off about it too. While Tanith was barely 90, she was plenty used to people much older than herself. No, what fascinated her was how sweet Archangels had turned out to be. She'd always pictured them as warriors, far above the mortal race and engaged in far more important things - a lot like sorcerers, now that she thought about it.
But no. They protected people, they traveled with pilgrims, and that was what Gabriel considered fun. Just putting her hand on his shoulder had made him grateful; she could kind of see how he and Skulduggery had become friends now.
Plus, the image of Gabriel as a cowboy didn't hurt. Although Tanith banished the image a few moments later when it came a little too close to Billy-Ray Sanguine.
Keeping the Archangel talking was turning out to be much easier than Tanith thought. She was genuinely interested now. "Is that the sort of thing you always do? Don't you have to follow orders as well?"
