In the flesh.

[He gestures to the shadows of wings behind him, just a mere suggestion of himself.]

Or at least, as much as I'll ever be.

[serenesuccessor]

I met you, when I was little.

[She's more just trying to work this out. A small frown forms, but it's quickly replaced as she remembers something out.

Right! Manners!]

Oh! Um, 'm Naomi!

[messengerofgod]

I know. I know who you are. And I know who you are, too.

[He pokes her in the forehead lightly, looking her as if he can see right through her, down to the core.]

Gabriel. They call me Gabriel.

[serenesuccessor]

[Naomi let's out a small whine, rubbing her forehead with a pout.]

... Serenity says hi.

[Because if he knew there was really no reason to hide it.]

Gabriel... Wa-Wait! Like the Arch Angel Gabriel!?

[messengerofgod]

Hey, kiddo.

[That one, of course, was directed towards Serenity.]

Think. Y'know any other angels named Gabriel?

So you wanna know a fun fact?

[serenesuccessor]

[Naomi pauses, eyes rolling skyward as she tends to do when conversing with Serenity.

Then she's giggling behind her hands.]

Serenity says that she is not a child, good sir.

[Pause.]

O-Or good Arch Angel? Oh wow. I can't- I mean-

[She stops, takes a deep breath and ducks her head.]

What are you doing here?

???

[messengerofgod]

Compared to me? Pretty much everyone's a kid.

[He just gives a little shrug.]

Keeping an eye on you. Well. Keeping an eye on her.

Originally Serenity's angel equivalent was gonna be Michael or Raphael and Markel's was Lucifer.

[serenesuccessor]

[Of course. Why should she be surprised that that's his answer? That seems to be what everyone's doing these days, what everyone's been doing all her life.

Puffing out her cheeks Naomi gives a small huff.]

I can speak for both of us when I say we don't need anybody to keep an eye on us!

AIIIIEEEEE

[messengerofgod]

[He shakes his head, giving her a little eye-roll.]

That's why you fell out of that tree the other day. Because you don't need anybody to keep an eye on you.

Re: AIIIIEEEEE

[serenesuccessor]

[Her mouth opens, prepared to counter. The mention of Tree Incident #35 makes her stop, mouth shutting with a click. A frown forms - a pout really not that she'll ever admit it.

Then she's giving him a Look.]

Are you a stalker?

[messengerofgod]

A stalker. Oh boy, kid thinks I'm a stalker.

[And Gabriel proceeds to have a really nice belly laugh about this.]

[serenesuccessor]

Heeey! Hey, stop laughing! It's a logical conclusion!

[And she stamps her foot, childishly. That action is followed by a blush because, well, she was being a child. Naomi is trying hard to be a grown up in the face of all of this.

After all, she can't be the little girl she once was. She's fourteen and kind of has to potentially save the world.]

'nd I really don't need someone watching out for me! My brothers the one who needs to be watched over.

[messengerofgod]

Sure it is.

[But he's laughing, as if this is riotous. Still, he manages to calm down enough to talk again.]

Someone's probaably on that.

[serenesuccessor]

Yeah, a buncha crazy people who've kidnapped him and let that creepy Markel guy possess him.

[Naomi huffs, planting her hands on her hips.]

[messengerofgod]

[A little shrug.]

I'm not in control of that. Not my problem.

[serenesuccessor]

[Naomi gives him a disbelieving look.]

You're an Arch Angel. Isn't it your job to watch over people who need it?

[messengerofgod]

Not really. That's not what we do.

[Hasn't been what he's done for ages.]

The moment you realize I don't have angry icons...

[serenesuccessor]

It's what you should be doing.

[And Naomi is very frustrated, so hopefully Gabriel won't hold her shouting at him against her.]

Re: The moment you realize I don't have angry icons...

[messengerofgod]

No, it isn't.

[Because really, he's just watching Naomi because he liked Serenity.]

Re: The moment you realize I don't have angry icons...

[serenesuccessor]

The-Then go away! 'Cause I don't want some creepy dude who won't go watch over my brother watching out for me! Angels are s'pose to help people no-

[She stops, eyes looking skyward again. Naomi gives a little huff, shaking her head in response to Serenity's request. It probably looks comical, watching her argue with herself.

Then she scowls, levels Gabriel with a small look of betrayal before she shuts her eyes. For a brief moment it looks like she might fall over, but she regains her balance and when her eyes open their a clear blue.

Serenity levels Gabriel with a Look, arms crossed over her chest in her best attempt to seem angry even if a grin is forming.]

Gabriel, only you could make a little girl go from looking at you in utter awe to enraged.

[messengerofgod]

[Gabriel just pats Serenity on the shoulder, completely nonchalant to the fact that an angel just took the reins of this young girl's body. Whatever. Shit happens all the time.]

I wanted to see how easily she'd crack.

[serenesuccessor]

Which is so kind of you.

[She swats his hand away when he goes to pat her shoulder. The smile was gone at his words.

Serenity is protective of Naomi.]

Or rather so cruel of you. If that is the only business you have here, to see a poor girl crack, then I would rather you leave.

[messengerofgod]

You and I both know that's not the only reason I'm here, Serenity.

[His lips are a little thin, now, as he talks to his sister. His hand moves back to her shoulder.]

[serenesuccessor]

Well then, are you going to continue to be mysterious dear brother or are you going to come out with it?

[And wait. Actually.]

... Is everything alright?

[Because he had still been in Heaven last she remembered, before she'd fallen to be with Markel.]

[messengerofgod]

It's like you don't know me, sweet sister.

[And it's so weird to call her that again.]

Alright is so far from how it is, girl.
