[Tch. Anyway if Irene is on the ground instead of on Sholmes's shoulder as I expect she is, Adelheid will go up and bump her head against the crow, gently.]
I would be very upset if you died from doing something so stupid.
No. They may be grand beings, and perhaps they may serve some version of a god, but their meddling into people's lives is far too devilish for my tastes.
It seems to me there are several different factions of angels at odds with each other involved here. Perhaps one of the groups are truly angels, but...
Uriel was quite insistent that The Authority they spoke of was God. And that worries me, because they did not know the Authorities current intentions, but spoke as if it had diverted from what it was when Eden throve.
"Diverted"? [Looking up at him, squeezing his hand.] Now that is most concerning. One would think an infallible being such as that would be unable to do so.
[Van Zieks was just trying to be a good Christan boy and now the moment he starts thinking about being cool about his gay feelings suddenly God is getting involved!!!]
I hardly know what to think of it all. Perhaps Uriel is simply mistaken? Or perhaps we should not trust what they said. It is difficult. Perhaps the Lord Regent should have struck me down.
[van zieks its in your homosexual right to fight god, come on]
Oh, posh. Don't say a thing like that. [And he's frowning! Like! Dude!!!] Whatever we can and cannot trust, what is certain is that you have been given something that may aid us in the time to come. We will ensure your safety and its safety.
He responded professionally, as always. I believe the enormity of what we have been entrusted with did throw him slightly, but he is not a man easily deterred as I am sure you know.

You are a fool.

[He is. Clearly stressed. Irene as a crow is preening her feathers.]
Tell me something I do not know, for once, perhaps.

Hah. Far cry from the man who made it very clear he couldn't stand my very presence, only a few weeks ago.
[He reaches out for the other's hand.]
But don't worry. I've already gotten an earful. I won't be doing something like that again.
no subject
On a professional level, I still feel that way. But when we arrived here, I barely knew you on any level beyond that.
[Anyway it's cuddle week so handholding accepted.]
I would have hoped we could have solved both cases.
no subject
[He just nods, pensively.]
I would have wished for the same thing. If only we had more time...
no subject
Working out a way to bring back our erstewhile dead is even more imperative now.
no subject
[Meanwhile, Sholmes just nods.]
Yes, of course. That, and...bringing down these so-called angels, once and for all.
no subject
You don't believe them to be true angels, then.

I do not want to be protected. I am not a child.
no subject
Oh, because you're older, it doesn't mean you need protection? Tell me, then. Have you created contingencies in case you are, in fact, targeted? Hm?

I'm glad you have him by your side.
