Uriel looked up at Gabriel curiously, surprised at where the conversation seemed to be leading. He remembered what Belial had said about Gabriel loving Lucifer, but given his brother's refusal to listen when he spoke of his own love for Lucifer, his acquiescence now seemed odd. Then again, Uriel thought as he listened to the gentle cadence of Lucifer's words, it was easy enough to lose one's self to that voice.

His reverie was broken when Gabriel pulled away. Startled, unsure what to say, he reached out to his brother hesitantly, fingertips barely brushing the tips of his wing.
