"Judas and I are getting back together." Yeshua looked Gabriel dead in the face as he said it. There was no hesitation, no falter, no strain- he was certain of this. He had said this with the fullness of his chest, complete and total dedication.

✞ They say it so bluntly and flatly that it takes him a moment to register what he was told. His wings flick and he shakes his head before leaning down closer. " I-- what? " He scoffs. " My liege, I understand forgiveness is everything you exist for, but..! "
A very old, very deliberately unresolved anger wells up in him at even the recollection. He keeps his anger wrapped like dry tender for later-- to fuel the fire in his chest, never knowing when he'll need it, only that he does. It makes him go silent a moment, mid vague gesture of his hand, before straining a desperate response. " He sold you for a bag of coins, shepherd... " Yes-- he knew that was going to happen, he knows WHY they did it, but it makes it no less frustrating! But such is the story of all of humanity and its every imperfection. Judas always embodied the opposite of everything the archangel was born to represent, even if only as a symbol. And symbols were powerful things.
" I beg you to understand my confusion... Is there not a thousand good souls elsewhere that might befit you? "
