"Collateral damage never bothered you before, little brother."
Lucifer runs his thumb along the rim of the glass, slowly frosting it over.
"But that's beside the point, isn't it? I was showing your little pet what you are, Gabriel, because he seems to be under the impression that you aren't something for him to fear. You and I both know that he should be afraid of you."
Gabriel, like Lucifer and Michael and Raphael, is an archangel-- a weapon of Heaven, designed to be bloody, bold, and resolute. And not only is Gabriel an archangel, but he is also a pagan god as well, a kind known more for their fickle cruelty than their righteousness. The power of an angel of the Lord and the mercurial brutality of a pagan; who, were they not of equal power, wouldn't fear that combination? In some ways, he is more terrible than Lucifer-- at least he never took pleasure in killing humans.
"What is it, exactly, that you want? For me to go along with your little charade of playing house with your human? Really, the whole thing is in awfully poor taste."
