Let's Stay Tuned!

"Tea would be great, thank you," she said, appreciating Emily's efforts.

"Thanks...," she said her expression falling at the mention of her father. She sat back down on the edge of the bed, holding one of her arms as she looked off to the side. "It has been rough."

            Emily wished she knew what to say to ease her worry, but she was lost for words at the moment, which made her feel... unhelpful. Her job was to bring joy into others' lives, to be there when someone needed a friend but this whole political situation was beyond the scope the seraph was use to.

               ❝ With how dangerous it is down there right now, Mike just wants to keep you safe. I heard that meeting with Satan didn't go so well neither. I'm sure once things calm down, you'll be able to go back. ❞ If things ever do 'calm down', that is.

❝ I didn't know you had any uncles and aunts down in Hell. I thought Lucifer was the only Morningstar that Fell? ❞

"The other Sins though, they were around a lot when I was growing up. They're like family, they're all my aunts and uncles. Which is what makes this sooo much harder; that my uncle Satan is doing this."

However, he could not heal his other injuries as he had exhausted his meager magical reserves healing the most dangerous wound. His landing was rough, both because several of his feathers had been ripped out, making flying more difficult, and because a slash to the back of his ankle sliced the tendon that helped him walk. He landed with a grunt and was brought to his knees, panting and bleeding, but alive. (dominicmorningstar)

One of the front doors to the hotel happened to open just seconds after he landed. And there stood Angel Dust, wearing his sunglasses and ready to go out on the town.

His fabulous demeanor dropped immediately, seeing Dominic. "Oh shit!" he exclaimed and rushed over to Dominic. "Kid, what happened?"

He scanned him quickly, picking the side Dominic was less damaged on and put Dominic's arm over his shoulders to help him towards the door. As tall as Angel was, the kid was beefy. He wouldn't be able to lift him but he could help him inside.

Dominic shifted slightly at the comment about his ankle. "Yeah. I exhausted all my healing energy patching up some other wounds. I had to prioritize." He sighed. "Until it's healed or at least patched up, I can't walk on that foot, and I'm missing too many feathers for me to fly stably. I'll need help walking or crutches if we need to move."

A moment later the main hotel doors burst open and Alastor walked in, hands behind his back, holding his microphone cane.

"I have arrived," he announced as if it wasn't obvious to everyone in the lobby.

He scanned the room and walked over to Dominic, Angel and Charlie.

"You and me and Vaggi are taking care of everything else. Aww come on! It's a chance to build camaraderie! Think of it as a... a treasure hunt! to make our daily jobs easier."

"I've been to Heaven before, Uncle Raphael. You don't have to babysit me."

"Wherever I please!" she reiterated.

But then in a more normal tone added. "I'm going to search for Mom in Heaven. She's not in Hell and I can't find her on Earth so Emily agreed to let me look around."

Oh but she is adorable~

"I want to go to Lu Lu Wooooorld!" Charlie declared dramatically.

"With you," she added cutely.

“Oh?? Well in that case what are we waiting for ! Let’s go!” He snapped his fingers and transformed his outfit into something a lot more comfortable then his usual fit.

Alastor falls over, effectively tackled. The Radio Demon is actually pretty light and while Lucifer is small he is much stronger than he looks.

She picked up her fork and took a bite. "It's wonderful, Al."

"Thank you, princess," Alastor replied politely, starting to dig into his own meal.

"So, ummm, you two seem to be getting along a bit better lately," Charlie commented, making conversation.

"Is that so?" Alastor asked casually. This seemed like a good transition for Lucifer to bring up the topic of them dating but he waited to see what his partner would do.

He took a small breath, “uh yes I’d say we have , gotten along a lot better actually, “ he reached under the table for Alastor’s hand .

“There’s actually a good reason for that honey, —“ He was nervous but hopeful that Charlie might take this well.

It was Charlie's turn to nearly choke, but on her food instead. Her eyes got big and she had to hit her chest with her fist a couple times.

"W-What did you say?" she asked for confirmation, feeling she must have misheard.

"We're dating. Courting, that sort of thing," Alastor replied casually.

"I.... I see," Charlie said looking from Alastor back to her dad. "And how long has this been going on?"

Michael says to this to Charlie rather matter-of-factly, over the edge of a sheaf of papers he’s reviewing, mostly plans for activities and scheduling.

Charlie turned to stare at him in disbelief. She must have misheard that.

"Uhh sorry, did you say Alastor?" she asked. "Are you sure you didn't mean someone else?"

“I did. Alastor. Radio demon.”

He sets down the papers, tidying them with a tap upon the desk as he raises an eyebrow at his niece, uncertain of the source of her shock.

"I never thought about Alastor having a mom before. I mean, obviously I know he had to have one but- never mind," she waved a hand. "Have you met her? What is she like?"
