[That could indeed be an issue, yes. Still, Galahad is the hopeful sort.] Have you tried?
[Whether it's innuendo or not, the phrasing flies a bit over the knight's head.] Aye? That's good-- Lucifer deserves someone who can make him happy. [A phrase he never thought he'd say, but such are the changes that the Nexus brings people to!] What time would be good for us to go see him?
Yes. [He shrugs, having given up on it a long time ago.
The angel starts to chuckle at the 'make him happy' turn of phrase.] We'll have to find a time when he's not busy making Lucifer happy. I'll leave a message and ask.
[It wasn't as if it was far, or they couldn't fly there quickly.]
I see. [His smile turns a little rueful, thoughtful.] Maybe it would help if Lucifer himself told you how felt about you feeling responsible for his pain. [Based on what he knows about the angel's personality, he doesn't see Lucifer as the vengeful type over such a thing.] Forgiveness is powerful when 'tis something we're incapable of giving ourselves.
All right. [And yes, that one flies over Galahad's head, too.] Since he's king, would it be polite to bring a tribute of some kind?
[It seems like a good question, but who knows if angels have similar customs where their royalty are concerned? Galahad's never gone to the villa specifically to visit Lucifer, but if he did he would have wondered if it was proper to bring the king a gift, too.]
[Beelzebub shrugged at the idea of he and Lucifer talking. There was too much there for it to be clear.]
If you want, but Lucifer doesn't want to be a king. [The angel knew it was the truth.] If you want to bring something do it as a friend and not for the title. He can get pissed about the title.
Oh I meant-- his king. Balthazar. [But that's helpful information all the same. Galahad's less used to the idea of reluctant kings, but in Lucifer's case he can understand it. He'll have to spend some time thinking of a nice regular gift to bring over.] Is he like Lucifer and doesn't care to be addressed by his title?
Balthazar hates titles, though he has one for formality sake. [Beelzebub shrugs.] The title offers protection because he's a much weaker angel as an Ophan.
An Orphan? [He assumes Beelzebub means something besides the human definition of an orphan as being someone without parents.] Is he no longer connected to God?
[That gets a full laugh from the angel. He'd heard Galahad mention faith and found it strange to not know the basic angelic types.]
He did walk out of heaven, but that's not what I meant. The Ophan are a type of watcher. The ones that are rings with wings of fire and millions of eyes? They're Angels that celebrate beauty and joy.
Oh-- [Galahad perks up a bit as recognition comes at that description.] I've seen depictions of angels like those. They've different names in my world, though.
In the Nexus he looks human as you do, aye? Or...?
What do you call them? [That question comes with unabashed curiosity.]
It's different for different creations. We use illusions to hide our presence. Balthazar shares a human's body. They're willing companions. In other creations God fashions bodies for the angels. I'm sure they're more options.
