What? Oh, goodness, no. Nor am I, really, except by habit.

[unfriendlygreen]

Anything else would be preferable.

[ he says, sounding British. ]

[heaven_on_paper]

[ He ignores this remark, other than making a slight "Why do you have to be rude?" face, in favour of taking a bite of food. ]

This really is very good.

[unfriendlygreen]

Thank you. Irish cuisine is not particularly complicated.

[heaven_on_paper]

And I see you've renovated.

[unfriendlygreen]

I can turn it back when I leave if it bothers you.

[heaven_on_paper]

No, no, don't bother.

[unfriendlygreen]

If you have no magic, what can you do?

[heaven_on_paper]

Let's not talk shop, shall we?

[unfriendlygreen]

Why not? Worried you'll be scolded?

[heaven_on_paper]

...

[ A little exasperated. ]

My dear boy, do you want heaven's attention to be called to this shop? I am attempting to help keep a low profile from those who might—trigger your allergy.

[unfriendlygreen]

[ He looks vaguely offended, then outright amused at being called 'boy' ]

Do they take notice if you mention being an angel? If they are omniscient would they not have taken notice of my arrival?

[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.
