An Angelic Meeting [Red]

@"ReD"

Evangeline couldn’t help but feel a bit confused by the sudden changes of Loch’s behavior, however, she had met guys that were a lot worse on said area, so she tried t shrug it off the best she could.

However, there was…something that kept her interested on Lochlann, she couldn’t really put her finger on what it was, but she just chill, it was probably her angelic instincts kicking in again, telling her that this guy needed help, just that.

So a walk, well, that could be just perfect, they could just relax once more and then start a casual chat to meet each other more or less better, a chat where she would carefully throw one or two questions here and there to discreetly start piecing his problems together and maybe help him out if he allowed her to do so.

“Sure! You look like quite an interesting guy to be sincere, mind if we talk while we walk?” She wasn’t sweet talking him to chat with her, or at least not completely, she sincerely thought of him as an interesting guy after all

@"ReD"

Evangeline just shook her head a bit as an answer before he went to pick his stuff. She waited patiently before he returned and started to walk at his side, though allowing him to guide her steps, wondering if this walk was just going to be a random casual one or if he had a place in mind.

“Well, if you couldn’t tell by now by the wings and the halo, I’m an angel” As she talked she flapped her wings elegantly “And as I told you before I’m new around Manta Carlos”.

She quickly made a list of things that she would prefer to avoid telling him just now, mostly to avoid scaring him or weirding him out. The last thing that she wanted was to have a bad start with Lochlann after all.

“I’m also what you would call a passive angel, since I have no offensive abilities at all. I have ways to defend myself, but that’s it” She knew that her halo could transform into a rather deadly sword, but she would only use it in extreme cases when she felt endangered, so she still considered it a defense and nothing else.

“What about you, Lochlann? Would you mind telling me something about yourself?”.

@"ReD"

Evangeline nodded with a small chuckle “Most angels on the offensive area are known as warriors. They’re the ones in charge of keeping the demons and some other creatures in check. I was surprised when I found out that Manta Carlos had none” With so many demons around, as well as potentially dangerous creatures, she would expect to see several warriors walking around the place constantly, but there was none, and if there was any, she hadn’t see them.

So, he was about to start college…that was actually pretty nice and relieved her a bit. Usually creatures that still were within school-age were a bit more open minded than the full grown creatures, and consequently they accepted the need of help and the help itself a bit more easily.

“Well, I guess that staying four years is worth it if you finish college” Evangeline looked at the flask on his hand…she knew more than enough to know that the drink inside it was alcoholic. However, it was a bit too soon to jump into conclusions just yet.

“What are you drinking?” She asked casually, mostly out of curiosity and in an attempt to pick up a bit more of info.

Evangeline hadn’t really considered things from Loch’s point of view, but maybe he was right. Not everyone was used to have not-exactly-friendly angels wearing a full armor and several holy weapons walking around the place, even some of the newcomers of heaven had a tough time getting used to them.

At his next comment she just gave him a warm smile and patted his back a bit in a comforting way. She understood him better than he may think. Being a purifier had its downsides as well, one of them being that she had to stay away from home for really long periods of time, and more than once she couldn’t help but wish that she could just go back, at least for a couple of days.

“Well…hum…I can leave for a day or two if I really need to, but out than that, I guess that I’m just as stuck as you are, Lochlann” Leaving during a mission was forbidden unless she was called by a superior or if an emergency occurred, and even then, three days was her limit, if she stood away for longer she would be in a really high risk of getting in trouble with her superiors.

She looked at the flask for a second or two “I think I’ll pass for now” She tried to be as polite as possible. She felt a lump on her throat, though she tried to dissimulate it. If he couldn’t even tell what he was drinking by now it means that he drinks a bit too often, was he an alcoholic? And if he was, why?

“So…is the lake your favorite place of the islands, or another place steals that spot?” She pushed him gently with her shoulder, in a friendly and playful way, just to relieve any kind of tension that may still be around at the moment.

A waterfall in the woods? Well, that probably was quite a lovely sight, but it also allowed her to know that he was of the loner type thanks to his description. Somebody that liked to be around friends, or that at least had a group of friends, would mention a time or two spent on their favorite place with them, or at least give a hint or two.

So…he drinks often and is a loner…

“Well…not all of us, but most do. And yes, there are different kind of heavens, depending on the beliefs of those that die, each one ruled by a different entity…however is really hard to know which one came first and that has always been a main discussion topic between them for eons”.

She never had been on one of those discussions before, but for what she had heard they weren’t exactly pretty, with every ruling entity trying to prove that they were the original, the creators…it was extremely confusing…

“I’m of the kind that only goes to heaven when my superiors call for me, I had been living on Earth since I can remember. I must admit that I really like it here, though, there is always interesting going on somewhere, you just need to look around carefully to see it. And those treasured moments are always better when you have someone to share them with”.
