A young clown approaches from behind. He gently taps the angel's shoulder 

"Pardon me, I can't help but admire your spontaneous craftsmanship!" 

Startled by the tap, the angel jolted, followed by a bird-like chirp! He turned to meet Hill’s gaze.

“Golly, this old thing?” he smiled, thrilled to see that someone already appreciated his craft.

“You must have a good eye for bird houses. Thank you! Say, what’s your name?” he asked.

Hill smiles softly. 

"Ah so sorry if I startled you! My name is Hill, Hill Arieus!" he says tipping his little bowler hat. 

"What's yours may I ask?" 

“Hilarious?” Landon repeated. This must be a stage name, he assumed. 

“Well nice to meet you Hill!” he reached out a hand to shake, “My name’s Landon. I am a top notch guardian angel around these parts. It’s my holy duty and privilege to spread peace and love wherever I go!” he paused, taking a moment to really evaluate Hill’s outfit and appearance.

“I guess you and I have a very similar purpose?” 

Hill gave a curious look. 

"Guardian angel?" Hill's mind wandered, remembering his grandma's angel Precious Moments figurines that he'd see decorated in her room. Looking at Landon, he began to see the similarities. 

"I always had a feeling that angels were real! My grandma would always talk about angels watching over us..." 

"Ah, but yes I do enjoy making people smile when I can. B-but I wouldn't dare say that my job is as important as yours! My goodness, you must working right now, spreading peace and love to those birds with that house you're building for them!" he says with shining eyes. 

((Landon looking at Hill like this briefly))

“Oh yes, we’re real. Oh! Except! Um, I don’t go around watching people. Haha.” Landon explained. First impressions were vital, he was sure to make a good one.

“I’m more of a life coach really. Ah, perhaps your grandma had a guardian angel friend guiding her with life problems or finding love.”

Landon handed Hill a bird house for no particular reason. “I do not mind the company. I suppose I’m taking a break right now to enjoy the company of these birds. Would you like to help paint one? I’m not much of an artist. Or, uhm! Unless you’re busy now. Is there a party nearby?” Children birthday parties are common for parks, and why else would a clown be there? This thought only now crossed the angel’s mind. His gaze focused on the flower tucked onto the clown’s jacket.

(THE PRECIOUS MOMENT LANDON OH MY GOOOOOD) 

"A party.... oh! Heh no, not at the moment. I have show later tonight, I tend to get ready fairly early. I'd be happy to help you decorate." He sat next to Landon, inspecting the bird house. In the corner of his eye, he noticed Landon focusing on his flower. Knowing that his squirt flower was finicky and sometimes having a mind of it's own he thought it would be best to warn him. 

"Ah Landon, I must advise you not to look too closely at- " before he could finish, a spray of rose scented water shot straight to Landon's face. 

Eek! I'm s-so sorry! Please dry yourself with this!" Reaching for his sleeve he began to pull out his handy dandy handkerchief. He pulls revealing a 5 foot long colorful handkerchief chain that takes him about 40 seconds to take out. Horrified at what he just done, he flashed back to breaking one of his grandma's dolls as a kid. What would she say to him knowing that he insulted a real angel?! 

Once again, Landon flinched. Two chirps this time-- involuntarily mimicking the sound of a small bird perfectly. His nose scrunched up as he shook his head, followed by a sneeze. Yes, a handkerchief is just what he needs about now. 

Silently, Landon watched as Hill spent forty long seconds pulling out handkerchief after handkerchief. It felt like sixty. He blinked. The entire event was fortuitous, and the silliness of it all made Landon laugh!

The angel's laughter slowed to a giggle as he tried to get his words in. "Ha! Haha! Gadzooks! Is this what your shows are like? You're hilarious!" he grabbed the long rope of a handkerchief and patted his face dry. "I have to catch one of your shows. Golly. All that joy you'd bring out..." Sounds like free dinner. Unbeknownst to Hill, angel's consume love and good vibes -- certainly something that would be found at a clown show. 

"I just have to!"

Seeing the angel laugh gave him a sigh of relief. Phewwww. He couldn't help but chuckle alongside the angel. 

"Heh, not exactly...it's usually more structured than this." Hill reached his pocket, handing Landon an admission ticket. 

"Here, take this. If you're free tonight you can come to the show later. The show is being held in the parking lot. Ah, but if not then don't worry that ticket can be used for any future show." Hill couldn't help but feel grateful of Landon for being a good sport. 

"Oh! Also you like birds right?" He reaches his inside coat pockets and casually pulls out a balloon bird. "You can put it on your wrist like this." 

(Landon holding the precious balloon like so)

"Zounds! You had this in your pocket all this time? It looks just like me!" Landon grinned and shook in thrill. "Absolutely I will come. Oh! I must tell my friends about this." he looked at the admission ticket. 

One evening as a member of the audience, surely a well nourished dinner, Landon calculated. This clown was clearly highly skilled and top ranked. But what if the love and admiration the crowd were to give out was also directed towards himself? An all you can eat love buffet! Greedy, but it wouldn't hurt to ask...

"I must see your show as is. But uhm. Say-- do you work alone? Have you ever once considered having a bird assistant?" Landon asked.

Hill pondered, a bit of an odd thing to ask but he figured the angel must really love them birds. 

"I perform by myself for the most part, for special shows I do partner with my mentor. Uh for today's show it's just me. I haven't thought about having a bird assistant before...oh but I will consider it now!" 

"I must say your admiration for birds is quite endearing. Do you happen to know how to train them?"
