Assisting Raguel was very different from any of the other tasks that he had been given before. But he found the work satisfying in an indescribable way. As though his mind was being challenged and put to appropriate use.
It was far from easy, however. Raguel was every bit as demanding as he seemed to be outwardly. All the same, Baraqiel wasn't bothered by it.
He did notice that the Archangel had a tendency to sit by himself while others mingled. In fact, when he was without his assistants (there were three of them now), he seemed to do everything on his own. Baraqiel understood the stigma of having what might be viewed as a foreboding or unpopular job, but really, it was ridiculous. He looked like he could use the company.
And so one day, when he saw Raguel sitting off by himself once again, he came and sat next to him. He did not speak, but he remained. And it seemed right enough.
So Baraqiel would do it again the next time he saw him alone.
