058: That's How I Knew This Story Would Break My Heart

[contract_star]

[Hei is in the Astral Kitchen, making a huge amount of ramen--more than even he can eat, it seems. He's mostly finished with the cooking at this point, and is just letting it simmer for now. Despite the presence of all the food, he looks very distracted.]

[Eventually he takes a step back from the stove and just stands there with his arms folded, frowning as he stares at the pot of ramen.]

Should be enough for seven.

[He's silent for a long while. Then he sighs and shakes his head.]

What should I tell them? If it's Henrietta...

[...damn. There is a Hei in the kitchen. Attempt to slip away is go.]

[No such luck, angel :|]

Aziraphale. [=_=] You know, if you weren't going to change me back, you didn't have to pretend that you were.

[extutela.livejournal.com]

I wasn't pretending. [WHY DOES EVERYTHING YOU SAY MAKE HIM FEEL LIKE A FAILURE, HEI?]

[contract_star]

You didn't come back.

[Hei shrugs. The thing was resolved anyway, and there's really no sense in holding a grudge over it. He goes back to stirring the ramen.]

I suppose it doesn't really matter. [And to deflect any hostility right off the bat,] I didn't tell Crowley, but he found out anyway. And like I told him, I won't tell anyone else. It's not my business.

[Except to, you know, torment Crowley, but hey, semantics.]

I was going to. [HE WAS. IT DOES MATTER. AUGH.] ...this is a great deal food.

[contract_star]

And you...changed your mind?

It's for my team. There's a crash meeting happening at my apartment.

[extutela.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't change my mind. [Irritated, he is.]

...Your team?

[contract_star]

[Frowning a little, since he's not sure why Azi's pursuing this, or, well, why he left him as a fox.]

Then--oh. I guess you must have gotten busy in your own world or something... [Aheh, Armageddon and all.]

Team, group...I don't know. We're helping others escape from this organization in my world...it's a long story.

[extutela.livejournal.com]

It wasn't as though I had designs on your... your... humanity. And I wasn't going to kill you.

[YES, HEI, THERE IS IS. That's what's bothering him. Still.] ...escape from what?

[contract_star]

It was certainly a good opportunity, if you had wanted to.

[Hei shakes his head.] It's nothing you should concern yourself with.
