QUOTE : Many have tried to trap him throughout the centuries; this is a shock only to Caleb, who does not know better. He provides memories, which will surely soothe Caleb's worries: iron stakes, meant to fix the corpse he inhabited in place until its decay forced him to move on, wards placed on doors, circles drawn around coffins. None of them have ever made the slightest difference to him. Caleb refuses to be consoled; he doesn't want to be staked. On reflection, Gray would prefer to avoid it as well.
