If I were more comforting, you wouldn't believe me.
[And rightly so.
Ten minutes later, Raphael is standing in front of the Cathedral, looking... a little restless, actually. Which can't be good. There's some face-rot creeping around her hair and jawline.]
[Ruby wants to make a comment about exfoliating when she sees the archangel, but she's not stupid enough. Instead, she decides to be all business, or at least as much as she can be.]
What's up? It's not often an angel calls on a demon.
[She doesn't want to do any unnecessary explaining. She's learned her lesson from Thomas: you have to explain yourself to the people you mean to drain like a faucet.]
[Makes sense, but she's not sure why Raphael's telling her. She can feel something off about the angel, but she's sure not poking at her to figure out what; she doesn't want to get herself burned up by looking the wrong way.]
[Okay, NOW she puts things together, and stops walking.]
Wait, so you need to drink demon blood too?
[Sounds like a good time to call daddy, because warning bells are going off loud and clear. But she also doesn't want to call Lucifer in for something she might be able to deal with; he's not at her beck and call or anything.]
[She's weighing pros and cons quickly, and this answer is important. If it doesn't mean killing her and draining her blood, then she'll probably just agree for now. She's not sure arguing with an archangel is a great idea.]
[Ugh. This entire thing is distasteful, not to mention insulting; she's supposed to the one manipulating other people using her blood, not just getting used a bank. But finally, she settles back into a 'demon don't care' stance, and nods.]
Hey, I didn't say you were a fat kid at an all-you-can-eat.
[Jokes. Jokes are good when an archangel wants you to be their personal protein shake. She starts following after Raphael again, trying to hide her hesitancy.]

Date: 2012-06-12 06:28 pm (UTC)Why?
[She's not outright refusing just yet, since this is an archangel, but agreeing blindly seems less than brilliant.]

Date: 2012-06-12 07:54 pm (UTC)Death is not permanent here. I would gain nothing by killing you.
[Just putting that very worldly paranoia to rest.]

Date: 2012-06-13 05:29 am (UTC)I'll be there in ten.
[Against her better judgement, but there's always daddy around if things go bad.]

Date: 2012-06-13 07:19 am (UTC)[She looks around restlessly, and starts walking. Assuming, of course, that Ruby will follow.]
Do you know why Sam needed to drink demon blood?

Date: 2012-06-13 07:21 am (UTC)Yeah. He's the vessel.

Date: 2012-06-13 07:38 am (UTC)[She looks sideways at Ruby, wondering if the demon can sense what's wrong with Raphael- or at least a similarity to Lucifer.]

Date: 2012-06-14 04:34 pm (UTC)Unfortunately. I have not been able to for months now, and my vessel has sustained internal damage.

Date: 2012-06-15 07:33 pm (UTC)[Oh, this sucks. She should have known better than to come out here.]
no subject
Date: 2012-06-18 05:42 am (UTC)My Hellfire damage is much less severe than Lucifer's and my needs are different accordingly.

Date: 2012-06-22 05:50 pm (UTC)Alright, well, I guess the buffet's in town.
[She's so telling Lucifer about this, though.]
no subject
Date: 2012-06-23 07:19 am (UTC)The word "buffet" doesn't quite fit. My needs are less than you think.
[Meanwhile, she's starting to slowly walk again, to get Ruby to come with.]
