He looks to the chair with a wrinkle between his eyes, but doesn’t sit. " I seem to be missing some things I need. Like, oh, say, " and there’s that impatience, but it’s mired in —— frustration? He’s hard to read, and not only because those emotions are so raw and rapid-fire. "  entire legions of Hell, " with a little loll of almost-sarcasm, world-weary, as though losing entire armies of demons upon his escape from the cage was just one more thing to add to a to-do list. " So. " A splay of his hands, as though expecting them to appear before them even as they stand. " I want to know, " and there’s a little smile again, " what you know, just —— "

" Not —— you. " And a little flicker of temper snaps too-quick, too fast, annoyance rippling; the lightening-quick roll of their eyes, the whisper of the rustle of invisible wings, a reek of sulphur and ash buried in the coldest, coldest ice. " The demon, " he says, and it’s not —— malice, no. It’s not malice, but it’s the indifferent regard of one who doesn’t want to play polite with one they clearly view to be beneath ——

" You, " and that’s directed to the demon partner, looking —— looking through the human before him as though he’s barely there. It’s a subtle thing, but oh, does he manage it so well. " Get out here. "

And then —— and then it’s like a switch flips, and the entity looks to Drake —— really Drake this time —— with a smile that is so utterly charmingly benign as to be unnerving. " Demons, " he says — says it like one might tut at a misbehaving dog, like an errant child, like a pet testing the very limits of patience, all the world like a man finding camaraderie in the management of such things.

{Contractor, this is--!} Pyre's voice rang through Drake's mind, but he made a gentle, soothing hand motion.

Trust me. I can tell, Love... Drake thought back as he scanned over the latest walk-in appointment for the Walker Detective Agency. He quickly shot a glance over at his apprentice's desk, as if momentarily making sure she was indeed taking the day off, before returning his full attention to... Lucifer.

There was no denying that aura-- that sheer amount of power locked into a human vessel... Drake pushed down a shudder, focusing his attention on the archangel before him. Now how to do this...

Flattery wouldn't work-- this being was older than history itself. Considering Drake only had one arm, he wasn't sure he could fight if it came down to it. So... if Drake had to work out a solution. The best play here would be...

"This is a neutral space. As long as you respect that, I too shall believe you," Drake spoke up with a nod, before offering a chair for Lucifer. Straight forward it is.

"Most people who come here are clients wantin' me to investigate something," Drake explained as he pushed aside the files he was working on. It was pointless to even bother looking those when there was a biblical level being in his office.

So. He'll brush off the insults. He'll ignore the comments. Focus on the job.

"So.... what would you like to talk about?"

[relucesco]

So much power.

❛ so, what do i owe this displeasure? ❜ (trickheaven for Lucifer) @trickheaven

" Gabriel, brother, " and the entreaty from the Fallen One is, actually, genuine; his regard softens, and his hands spread in magnanimous gesture. " Is that any way to greet family? "

The last time they had met, of course, was at the precipice of the end of the world: a crash of gods. A betrayal of brothers. One of many, across the endless crash of the tides of time. Not the first, never the last, but betrayal all the same.

The Morningstar never learned to be human as Gabriel did; he still wears his vessel like ill-fitting suit, a calamity of power and anger and hurt and madness, grace burning like a wildfire, trapped within this benign-appearing man, expressions often just inhuman enough to be uncanny.

" You live, " and he says it in Enochian, because he can emphasize it with far more feeling than he can otherwise; the rest comes earnest in a more common tongue: " I am —— proud of you, Gabriel. You, " and a dance of a smile that is —— earnest or dangerous, but it's hard to say: " tricked me. "

“ i swear i locked the door... ” (Drake and Lucifer? Casually puts him in terrible situations ) @dxskofthearchivxst

—— oh, the door was locked. There's certainly proofing that could keep them out, keep even Archangels from walking where they want — but mundane locks do little to dissuade. And the Morningstar walks past, no acknowledgement made of the human at first: no look his way, no sign he's even heard, looking 'round this place like it's a museum exhibit, this place of business.

" Hmm, " they say, turning the thought over. " You —— " And finally, finally, those scaldingly bright blue eyes, set in features that make little expression, study Drake with a lack of curiosity but perhaps a twinge of interest, " have a pet. " Said so bland, so —— almost bored, really —— " Fascinating. Oh —— " And he tchs, dismissive, " Not the possession, of course. Humans, you do anything for a sniff of power. "

( Nick, his human vessel, shifts somewhere in his psyche; he soothes. Sleep, sleep. )

But that's not why he's here; there's a twinge of impatience leaking into his bearing. " I want to talk to your —— pet. " And —— there's a smile after, swift and a little too disarming. Disarmingly disarming. " Just a talk. "

“ i've never seen that road before. ” (balthie. the lil shit!) @bloodsalted

" Shocking. " Droll, that; he's disgruntled enough to even be here, as he's already all kinds of persona non grata with the rest of Heaven. Being considered dead has its ups and downs, especially since so many of his kin are earthbound now; it's no real surprise the Winchesters found him again, even with his robust efforts at keeping hidden. " Do you have every street on this planet memorized? "

( Of course: most are also missing their wings; missing out on the Fall did him a few favors. His are still intact. )

And — after a moment, just enough to be deliberate, the Angel's brows raise and he rocks back on his heels. " Oh, oh, you're waiting on me to fill you in — last time I remember helping you, our dear trenchcoated friend killed me for the trouble. So remind me why I should be talking to either one of you? "
