Day 98; Video 004

[Brigid is looking a bit frazzled. She'd come to the house to find a few things, maybe use the kitchen, and talk to her friend. The problem is, Charlie's scent is fading. There's something wrong. And she isn't sure where her friend is.]

Has anyone seen Charlie McGee?

She isn't at the house and I can't find her anywhere around the town, or in the woods. I've been busy, but she's normally pretty easy to find.

[She bites her lip.]

House ten is empty. If you've seen her, or if she's out there, please contact me?

You should probably count yourself lucky, in that case.

[He's glad to hear that no smiting went down, though. Or--at least that Brigid didn't get smote. It's unclear at the moment if anyone else did, but perhaps it's something to inquire toward in the future.]

I don't see why we wouldn't. I don't believe we'll ever have reason to not speak to you. [It's supposed to be reassuring, but it comes out a little...awkward. Only a little, though!] The people here are all good, as far as I can tell, and--well, you're no different.

He didn’t seem as awful as some have made him out to be.

[Of course, she doesn’t believe him awful, just given a crap job.]

In my world, I have never met angels. That doesn’t mean they aren’t there, just that they’ve never made themselves known. To know that you are here, and are willing to be among us humans, is… frightening. As well as comforting.

[She blushes at the compliment.]

Thank you, St. Samandriel. I attempt to be.

He's-- [Fumbling a little, uncertain of how to respond to that, exactly, Samandriel frowns a little. Lucifer's just not something he really likes to talk about.] He... doesn't always come across that way, no.

[That's about all he can think of to say about it. Fidgeting a little, his attention is quickly grabbed by Brigid's comments about angels in her world.]

Oh? Perhaps they have made themselves known, but not to everyone-- Even we don't usually present ourselves to humans without reason. You have no reason to be frightened by our presence, though; I understand that it's atypical, but we're not going to do anything harmful.

[He smile reassuringly, even if it's still a little weak in his worry for Charlie.]

There's no need to thank me for simply stating truths.

[She’s actually attentive to what he says. She knows that Lucifer is supposed to be a tempter, she just doesn’t believe him bad.

There is a difference. But hearing him talk about Angels, her eyes brighten and she just wants to believe.] But Angels are the Swords and Soldiers of God. That’s what I’ve always been taught. Awe and respect, with a little fear, seems the proper way to address such august beings

A little fear, perhaps, though it's only compulsory in situations that call for it. Not all the time.

[He's not really one who gets a kick out of being feared. It's something he can understand someone being in the face of angels, but it's also something he wants to assure her isn't entirely necessary. ...For most of them, at least.]

But--if that's how you feel, I won't try to alter your beliefs. [Far be it for him to tell her how she should feel in their presence.]

[She blushes, ducking her head. She's arguing religion with an Angel. She'll be dying in a hole now.]

I just... My Da was a soldier. So, I try to treat all soldiers the way he would have wanted me to. Being an Angel just adds to it.

[He's not so much arguing religion as he is...more trying to assure her that he needn't be feared.]

That's understandable. I apologize, I shouldn't have tried to... to change anything. [He's fumbling just a little here, but shakes his head.] You should treat angels how you feel is appropriate, and yours is a perfectly acceptable manner.

[Angel = feared. They aren’t cuddly cupids, after all.]

No, no don’t apologize, please. It’s nothing to apologize for. I’m… just trying to explain how I think? I’m not very good at it.

Well-- That's alright.

[It's probably just best to end the discussion of the topic, he figures. If anything, it seems to be going in circles, and now that he understands her stance more, and exactly what she meant in saying she fears angels, he understands.

A small smile, and he continues.]

In any case, it was nice meeting you, Brigid.

[Brigid smiles, sheepish and glad to have met yet another of the Host.]

It was very nice to meet you as well, St. Samandriel.
