And you betrayed me!

[He stops and looks disgusted with himself. The humans around them are gone as his hands go up and glow with crackling energy.]

You made me feel affection. And care, and then taught me - about - about -

[Lightning lands behind her - at least three or four feet away at least.]

Don't think about moving. We're going to have this conversation.

You felt nothing that you didn't want. Need I remind you that you proposed.

( he'd been the one to start it all off. sure intimacy had never been on the agenda but he'd never refused her even that first time, had willingly allowed her touch )

You were eager to feel something. Because she doesn't respond.

...Was none of it real?

[He looks hurt.]

I chose you because I needed help, because I thought you understood how lonely I was...

[His lip twists in a snarl.]

She still loves me.

[He's not going to give into her. Not this time.]

So you're just cold and cruel. I understand. I respect that. Fine. Lines are drawn.

( she was happy to allow herself to seem cold and cruel to him, to avoid discussing whatever her true feelings were. for him she had none but generally-- )

Did you really expect anything else? The love of a demon?

( and the fact that he still wants it to be true-- )

Or maybe part of you yearns for me again, that swift bliss.

You forget to whom you Speak demon.

I am the Archangel Gabriel who walked at her side in the beginning. I want nothing from you.

[He looks furious at that because she hit on something that he did not expect.

There's a fountain nearby - the water trickling slowly over cascading rocks. He glances at it, nonplussed, before looking at her.]

I have been neglectful in my duty. I should have destroyed you the moment I laid eyes on you.

[So I wouldn't be this stupid.]

...But. You got me.

[So I wouldn't understand you.]

...You deserve congratulations. You tempted an angel. Know that, before you die.

You forget--

( and her hands are up now, starting working on conjuring something that will be very familiar to him )

That I can destroy you just as easily.

( she'd gotten hellfire off on him once and hopes the memory makes him doubly think his actions )

[Not this time.

Gabriel is quick. That is his strength. She made him quick and she made him to lead the hosts and no matter what he might feel-

This would severe it. He runs - bolting to the fountain and blessing it before he's back to her.

There's no hesitation.

One fountain of holy water - with very little water in it - trickling out of holes and rocks trying to be fancy. It's an art piece. There's very very little water in the fountain.

A fountain that's destroyed in a heartbeat when a bolt of lightning shatters it into pieces spraying holy water and rock in all directions.

No words. Just the commanding presence of God.]

( even though her hands had been up for the spell they raise higher in defense as the water flies at her. she doesn't have time to get any spell off, interrupted in her first cast and unable to pull up a barrier--

she doesn't scream as it hits her but heaven does it hurt, a pained, almost strangled sound coming from her as she tries to withhold her reaction, mix of high tolerance and refusal to show weakness.

but this is holy water and lilith doesn't need to look at it to know that its serious feeling the burn ripping at her-- she doesn't need to look to know that it's bad, the majority contained to the arm she'd thrown up with other splashes along her face and neck.

she stares at him, not really surprised at his actions but still-- shocked that he'd gone through with it considering he'd practically professed love to her. it's with a few more seconds watching him does lilith teleport away, not wanting to know what will happen next )

[Angels are not loving creatures towards each other. All they need is her love. Her grace. Her presence. And even if she does not respond she has always been there.

But the false...that false woman...

She held my hand. She's gone and the humans are looking at him, a few raising their phones. He stares at his hand and remembers her fingers in his.

Except that's not her. That's not Lilith, just like he wasn't that Gabriel - right? He wasn't there. He would have never. But still she held his hand, she had held him. Would he ever be held again.

It's not fair. It's not fair, I shouldn't know about that. I should never have known that. And what she said You want to be loved.

Did he love her? If he did he'd destroyed that.

His chest hurt and he wanted to cry.

A human approached, phone out, whispering before he snarled out-]

Tell, No One

[But people would find out right? Of course they would. He couldn't even find her while flying, while disappearing in a crack of lightning. He stalked in, looking for liquor, anything to dull the sudden pain of not having a hand to hold.]
