So someone left me this- [ She holds up the paper that once held a surprisingly nice, red scarf that's currently loosely wound around her neck. ] And it's not got a name attached, so whoever it was, even if you want to stay anonymous, I just wanted to say

[ And it's about then that she stops making a sound, although she continues to mouth for a few moments as though she's still talking. ]

Mimes get cool outfits.

[If any other angel could see them, they'd probably pass out from the shock of it. Well, except Balthazar, he'd probably just suggest a threeway. As it is, Gabriel just pretends this is nothing strange. He's not so bad at dealing with emotions that he can't at least do this much, after all.]

If they wanted revenge, they'd probably just kill us. Pretty sure they could. Maybe someone just thinks it's funny. Or hates Christmas.

[He stops for a moment, realising what he'd just accidentally implied.]

Which I realise makes me sound like a prime suspect, but honest, nothing to do with me this time.

[afallenstar]

Good point. Mimes it is, I guess. I look good in black and white.

[ She turns slightly to frown away at him, but she's actually joking this time. Yes, she did sort of jump to the conclusion that he'd done it to her when she initially saw his response on the feed, but she doesn't actually think he's behind this. ]

Pretty sure you'd have to tell someone if it was you, on account of that total lack of ego and whatnot.

[hung_garian]

Course you do. Stunning good looks run in the family.

[He winks. He hits on everyone, he's not going to make exceptions just because they happen to be his siblings.]

Tell someone? Please, I'd run around waving it on a banner.

[No, of course he doesn't have issues, that much attention-seeking is completely normal...]

[afallenstar]

[ It's a testament to how much better she's doing with things at that moment that she doesn't react with more protest to that comment, just smirks and rolls her eyes. ]

I don't know about that, I think it favours some of us more than others.

[ Look, there's even joking. This is a vast improvement on the ranting and pacing that the loss of her voice had initially brought. It's a fair reaction though, it's not like she has to deal with vulnerabilities all that much. ]

Heavens forbid anyone doesn't hear about what a good idea you've had, right?

[hung_garian]

You're too kind.

[Because obviously she meant him, right? Obviously.]

The world needs to know of my genius, Anna.

[afallenstar]

[ She's going to let you have that one, because of the surprising amount of slack she's being granted in terms of affection here, but she'll have you know that Anna definitely got all the good looks. ]

What we all wouldn't give to get a little insight into the way that great mind ticks.

I'll have to write a book.
