" ... Your King suggested I take the opportunity to visit this establishment . He spoke rather highly . " Seraphiel finally replied, the faintest of chuckles falling from his lips as wings twitched behind him. " Asmodeus I take it ? I was told you were hard to miss ... I can see why . "

compliments have always been one of the few things that fuel jia. and for one to come from someone like raven made her smile even bigger. the grin on her red lips is genuine, and she tilts her head towards them. “thank you,” she drawls, tucking her hands under her chin. “i could say the same for you, honestly, but it might turn into a compliment battle.” at this her eyebrow raises daringly, one corner of her mouth turning up higher. “just so you know, i never lose.”

“can i join you?” he asks, gesturing to the spot next to them. he shoves his hands into his pockets, staring up at the sky. “i’ve always liked stargazing, you know.” he rocks on his heels back and forth, sighing softly. “i was one of those kids that always wanted to be an astronaut but gave up when i learned there was a lot of math involved.” he points up to the stars, squinting. “hey, raven, isn’t that aries in the sky?”

Walking into Raven’s apartment like she usually does only to find the other sitting on their couch topless. Shrieking and laughing, Maggie covers her eyes (as if she hasn’t seen her like that before). 

“Now you’re going to be cold...” Maggie would mutter.

“I know this is weird but I need you to listen to me read this…” Elijah gestured towards a children’s book in Korean that sat on his desk. “You don’t need to understand what I’m saying but I need someone who won’t laugh at me to listen to me read.”

“huh?” the second he was sent to voicemail, the confused grunt was the first audible noise he could think to make. “i’ve never heard of a pizza place sending you to voicemail before...” a weak groan followed as he wiggled on the bench. “guess i gotta order here... can i have a huge pepperoni pizza? like.. the biggest you have. i’ll pay as much as you want as long as you can bring it to estes park. i’m the very pretty boy on the bench, you can’t miss me... mostly because no one else is here. or i hope no one else is here... what kind of freak is hanging around the park this late at night? you-” his voice cut off with a ruffled noise and another, more pained groan as his entire body landed on the grass beside the bench. “please hurry... i think i’m dying. i need a good last meal, and you can take all whole fuckin’ wallet with you when i die. it’s a good deal.”
