[heaven_on_paper]

They may take notice if I perform what they might choose to categorize as—"frivolous miracles." Under ordinary circumstances, I wouldn't be quite so chary with minor magic, but I am trying, for your sake, to be discreet.

[unfriendlygreen]

I only asked what you can do, I was not seeking a demonstration. In fact, I would ask you to refrain from any.

[heaven_on_paper]

You don't need a catalogue, either.

[unfriendlygreen]

But I would like to.

[heaven_on_paper]

You'll have to live with the disappointment, I'm afraid.

[unfriendlygreen]

I would not have imagined you'd be poor hosts, and yet.

[heaven_on_paper]

Terribly sorry.

[ He isn't sorry at all. ]

[unfriendlygreen]

If I am imposing, I can copy the book and be on my way.

[heaven_on_paper]

[ He waves a hand. ]

You're welcome to stay.

[ That doesn't mean he's going to be baited into discussing angel powers with some random half demon guy from another dimension?? ]

But surely we can come up with some more congenial topic of discussion.

[unfriendlygreen]

Such as?

[heaven_on_paper]

Music, for instance! I could show you my record collection.

[unfriendlygreen]

...

I would love to see it.

[ He actually really would. ]

[heaven_on_paper]

[ INSTANTLY perking up, wiping his fingers scrupulously clean and standing up. ]

Well! It's right this way. You know, if you're going to be in town for a few days, there's a little record shop just down the street that I really must recommend. Maggie, the prioprietess, has quite the knack for turning up rare albums.

[unfriendlygreen]

That knack would have nothing to do with frivolous miracles, would it?

[ But he's following him. ]

[heaven_on_paper]

Oh, goodness, no. It's all human connections! I wouldn't know where to start.

[ He takes him over to a series of shelves (not in the main part of the shop) that house an extensive and carefully curated selection of classical records. ]

Ta dah!

[ He does a little hand flourish and everything. ]

[unfriendlygreen]

It is a pity you ended up meeting me and not Bane, Bane would adore you.

[heaven_on_paper]

... friend of yours?

[unfriendlygreen]

More of a business partner.

[heaven_on_paper]

Another... half-demon?

[unfriendlygreen]

Yes, there are many of us.

[heaven_on_paper]

... I see.

[ Well the implications of that are horrible. ]

[unfriendlygreen]

And yes, the circumstances of out births are almost always unfortunate.

[heaven_on_paper]

"Unfortunate." Well, they would be. Though if that's how you think about it, you wouldn't be especially tempted to become an agent of hell.

[unfriendlygreen]

Obviously.

[heaven_on_paper]

Sorry. Don't mean to pry.

... would you like to put something on?

[ He gestures to his music collection. ]
