*Alanna sits under a tree, face turned toward the sun. Mithros grazes nearby, a saddle and sweat stain on his back, his lead line looped loosely around her wrist. They had gone exploring earlier, and are now equally lethargic, enjoying the slight breeze. She's trying her best not to think.*

Shaking herself, she slowly lifts her hand and waves.*
Morning, Adam.
*Mithros wickers softly and savages a patch of bright green grass. Alanna wonders when she began automatically leaving the "good" off that greeting.*
no subject
'morning.
*he seems to wait for her to say something else, the silence lasts on, awkward, for a few minutes, before he speaks again.*
What're you up to?
no subject
Not much. I had a... *She stops, considers.* I didn't sleep well, so Mithros and I went exploring in the woods this morning.
*Eyeing him with no small amount of worry, she pats the spot next to her under the tree.*
Want to sit down?
no subject
Did you find anything interesting?
no subject
Why did you almost turn away? You know I won't bother you if you don't want company, right?
*Brushing her hands off, she turns to look at him. For some reason, it's very important to her that he knows this.*
no subject
I know.
no subject
Stay over here, you big lug. Don't eat the flowers. *Smiling affectionately at the gelding, she unsheathes her dagger and drives it into the ground, through the loop of his lead. Nodding in satisfaction, she gives Adam her full attention.*
I'm glad. *She pauses.* Are you... something is wrong.
no subject
Something? Yeah. *he laughs* More like nothing is right.
no subject
I'm very sorry to hear that, my friend. *quietly* Would it help to talk about it at all?
no subject
Which part do you want to hear about first? The part where I almost killed somebody, or the part where I tried to kiss my boss?
no subject
I want to hear about whatever you wish to tell me.
no subject
The other night I-
*and he seems to realize that he's talking to somebody who's on the security staff and cuts himself short.*
no subject
I hope you didn't just censor yourself for the reason I'm suspecting.
*Disgruntled, she folds her arms across her chest and turns to watch Mithros.*
I'm not... Goddess, I wouldn't. You're my friend, and even if you weren't... *She shrugs, rubbing her nose. Issues of right and wrong have been plaguing her as of late.*
no subject
Thanks. I-
I guess I was. *he shakes his head*
Do you know who Raguel is?
no subject
I do not, although I've heard his name, I believe. Why? *Alanna furrows her brow.*
no subject
no subject
Not too popular around here, I imagine. *She studies his face, her gaze penetrating.* Was this the first time you had seen him since?
*It doesn't take much to work out that this is the the person Adam almost killed. What bothers her is that she feels a slight twinge on the edge of her conscience. A fleeting thought - I understand why.
Vengeance.
She thinks of all the ineffective threats she had made against Lucifer. If you hurt him, I will strike at you any way I can.
The look she gives Adam now is very uncertain, unsettled.*
no subject
No, the second. The first, I didn't know it was him.
no subject
I remember the first time I saw Roger here. After Thom's death, after I killed him the second time. *softly* It scared me a bit to realize that I would have no problem doing it again. I wanted to ruin, destroy him for what he did to my twin. To all of us.
*She sniffs back tears.*
I wasn't particularly proud of that, but it was honest emotion, I suppose.
What happened, Adam?
no subject
I wanted to-
I wanted to kill him.
I had, this poker. With my father's blood on it.
no subject
no subject
Lucifer was threatening Aziraphael, and Crowley hit him with it. This was-
a while ago, obviously.
*He's starting to breathe again, and he tells the story slowly, and calmly.*
no subject
I heard something of that, yes. Admittedly, I was rather distracted by the part of the tale that involved Bernard punching Lucifer in the nose. *She flushes.* So you had this poker, and went after Raguel with it? *Both eyebrows raise, and she lowers her chin.* I'm quite certain you did this outside, correct?
no subject
Back- in the woods.
*Where nobody would hear us.*
But Aziraphael saw us, and stopped me. Not before-
*he takes a deep breath*
Not before their blood had mixed.
