A cold feeling of dread was starting to spread through Uriel as he listened to Raphael. This was not good. Not good at all.
"We should not question His deeds or reasons, Raphael," he said quietly. "He has wisdom and knowledge that goes far beyond that of ours. We're not even supposed to know his reasons. What we know is that he is merciful but will waste no mercy for unrepenting sinners.
"When did I say it is your duty to return Michael's feelings? Never. But, like I said before, there is such a thing as gentle rejection. There is some difference between not returning his feelings and calling him a disgusting abomination. It is not your fault if he's hurt because you don't love him the way he loves you, but you are indeed the one to blame if you express the state of your feelings in such a hurting way."
Raphael's step away from him was like a blow. "I don't see why war is necessary, either," he said. "However, I do not question His will. And I advise that you don't, either -- it does not end well." With an even quieter voice, he added, "It never ends well."
Then, Uriel turned away and walked off in search of Crowley. However, he couldn't completely shake away the odd feeling of dread that had fallen upon him.
