It was only seconds after sensing his aura itself that Gabriel knew something was bothering Raphael; it was almost tangible in the other angel's presence as he grew near. He was not quite sure what had befallen his fellow archangels over the past few days, but he had noticed both Raphael and Michael acting rather sullenly as of late.
Of course, he had been a bit withdrawn himself recently, he reminded himself, and had to pointedly steer his thoughts toward anything but Belial. Memories of the demon now tainted his skin just as they colored his thoughts, and he found it harder and harder to rid himself of the intrusive image of Belial's lips on his neck...
He fussed pointlessly with the cuff of his shirt, and with a stoic sigh, buried any doubts as he moved to search out his fellow archangel.
Raphael had not gone far through the manor's garden, and it was not long before Gabriel was smiling down upon the familiar face. "How good to see you, Raphael," he said fondly. "I've not run into you much lately. How have you been?"
