"Forge money?" Uriel asked, frowning. "Oh, no, it's real money. If it were forged they would notice the difference in bank. I don't forge it, I just create it." She really couldn't comprehend what was so shocking about it. "Haven't you ever seen me creating things before?"

Loki was smiling at her? Wow, he must be really sick. Otherwise he would have never done that. "So money was all it took for you to realize that I'm not just waste of space?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "If I'd known that I would have done that a long time ago. Although... what is 'sleight of hand'?" She'd thought she was fairly familiar with the English language, but this particular phrase had never caught her ear before.*

Loki looked now upset for some reason. She wondered why.

* It must be understood that, indeed, Uriel was an angel. And, while most of her human vocabulary had been learnt from artists, she did not consider magicians artists. It wasn't that she wasn't well enough acquitanted with English, she just had never been in a situation where such a phrase would have been uttered.
