"........." Uriel was silent, before he entered the room that the door led to.

"Hello?" he said.

"Look, I know this is probably a bother..." he said further, as the door closed behind him.

"But... I need to talk to... well... anyone." he went on.

"And you're probably the best option there is."

"Thank you." Uriel replied as he took a seat as she had offered.

"...." he was then silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"What... what do you think of archangels and relationships?" he asked.

"Are we... deserving of such?" he asked her further.

"Or should we be barred from pursuing such things?"

Uriel was silent for a moment, choking on his words.

"I..." he stammered, before exhaling loudly.

"I do." he said.

"I mean... we're all but a couple now." he told her.

"But... well... I'm scared." he admitted.

"What if Gabriel actually decides to cut her down?" he asked.

".....thank you." Uriel responded.

"But... he's not the only one I'm worried about." he told her.

"Vincent Remmington." he said.

"I know he doesn't like archangels, based on previous meetings and dealings with us." he told her.

"What if my involvement with Aimee drives a rift between them?" he asked.

"I don't want to be responsible for that, or at least have been a factor." he said further.

Uriel looked at her when she said that.

"Ah, yes, you're good friends with him." he recalled.

"Hence why you told him about Aimee coming into her mana, and told him he should be there when she wakes up." he said further.

"That was nice of you." he told her.

"It was also nice of you to help Aimee with her transition."

Uriel was silent for a moment, and smiled.

"Thank you." he said to her.

"That's... that's all I needed." he said further.

He then excused himself, and left the room, shutting the door behind him.

However, as soon as he did, she heard Gabriel's voice in the distance.

"Hey! Uriel! We've got something to settle, and we're settling it NOW!" he declared, before she instantly heard the sounds of an actual fight happening.

As soon as she made her demand, all sounds stopped.

When she looked at where the sounds had been coming from, she saw Uriel and Gabriel in a position that had indicated that they had been fighting.

Uriel was on his back, and Gabriel was hunched over him. Uriel's hands were around Gabriel's throat, but it looked like Gabe had been ready to smash his fist into Yuri's face.

They both looked towards her, and Gabriel gulped slightly.

"...nothing?" he answered.

"Gabriel said we had a score to settle, and he attacked me." Uriel responded.

"I was beating sense into you." Gabriel snapped at him.

"Yu-huh." Uriel muttered.

"Damn you." Gabriel hissed at his brother.

"You're an idiot. A foolhardy idiot." he said to him further.

Gabriel looked down at the floor, his hands balled into fists, shaking and quivering some.

"I'm trying to stop him from making a damn mistake." he growled.

"....you're talking about Aimee." Uriel said.

"Yes, the damn mortal that's somehow managed to wrap you around her finger." Gabe confirmed.

"You're an archangel, ACT like it!" he demanded, a small drop of some liquid hitting the floor by his feet.

"You are a warrior! You... WE... are the embodiment of God's wrath..." he went on, his voice a little quieter.

"We have no business deluding ourselves into thinking we've found happiness down there."

Gabriel flinched when Melissa's name was mentioned, and his bit his lip.

"Ngh." he grunted.

"....Gabe..." Uriel said quietly, which caused Gabriel to just turn away from them.

"Shut up." he said to Yuri.

"I'll go back and await my punishment for this." he said further, mostly talking to the woman that was there.

Then, before anyone could say anything more, he disappeared.

".....oh boy..." Uriel muttered.

"I think I finally see why he's SO against this." he said to the woman.
