~ use you in order to get to him. You will need to be extremely careful.

~ I fell, but I remember his character. I can only imagine the betrayal he would have felt. <<Sighs again and drops my hand to your shoulder>> I will not oppose your relationship, or whatever it is. But be aware, if the angels are after him, they will come after you too. It is not beyond them to ~

<<Gives you a wry smile and lifts a hand to ruffle your hair>> Definitely my son… <<Shaking my head slightly, another sigh escapes as I mull over your words. It was true, there were many who questioned Kage’s involvement with me and yet, he had remained by my side>> I have not seen Raguel since ~

~ play fair… <<Smirks across at you>> In fact… I’d say you were playing dirty. Maybe I have taught you well, after all.

~ husband and partner. I could see his face in this moment, looking at me the way you are doing when you think of that Archangel. And then all my rage just starts to melt away, a heavy sigh escaping as I exhale>> You are using my own actions against me to try and win me over… you definitely don’t ~

<<I didn’t want to listen, didn’t want to understand. You were my son and I wanted you to have nothing to do with heaven and the angels.
Dark shadows form around me, my wings itching to be released so that might find Raguel and finish off what Azrael started. And then you mention Kage… my beloved ~

~ why I do not like this… correct? You also understand that I want to split him open and gut him like a fish, yes?

<<A wave of white hot rage washes over me at the name. It took every ounce of control to not lose my mind completely. I had heard about the attack on Azrael and knew that Raguel was likely being manipulated. But knowing you were involved with an arc Angel, of all things…>>

Raven… you understand ~

<<A small frown creases my brow at your question and drags a hand through my hair>> I cannot promise anything, Raven. You are my son…

<<Listening intently, I nod a few times and then tilts my head to assess your reactions. You clearly liked this person, it was written all over your face and when you hide a smile inside your shirt, I can’t help but laugh softly>> Are you going to tell me the name of this mystery man?

<<When I catch your gaze, I hold it for a long while, a small smile tugging at my lips>> Tell me about this person who seems to have captured the heart of my son…
