"Fighting and destruction," he said softly, "Are nothing more than decisions, unnecessary to the final outcome. Peace could happen without fighting, if it was so desired.
It is those who make the choice to fight who do not let that happen.
Keep your suspicions to yourself, Uriel. Neither your nor anyone else save myself knows who or how I might love. And you ought not speculate any more than the demon."
He petted the dog again.
"As for Michael - tell me, Uriel, how can love - and I mean love mind you, not lust - come from gazing from afar at an idolized figure and then lying to that same being about intent? Omission is as good as an outright lie. Such actions speak more of lust than love.
Love comes from trust and intimate relationships - not a knight gazing up at a lady in a tower. What depth can there be, save for physicality?

And I deem that lust and not love at all."
