Summary: It's Michael's turn to bring home a new friend!

"Raaaaph you know how I said I was bringing home a hellbeast? This is way better than a hellbeast." He held up the hedgehog he had cupped in his hands. "I've named him Sir Peeg."

Gabriel gave Dame Peeg a last kiss on her forehead and a cuddle before handing her back to Michael. He held out his hand and concentrated; The Big Book of Beatrix Potter appeared in it. He flipped it open to The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle and pointed out the illustration to Michael.

"We're not supposed to break their laws, anyway."

"Dame Peeg is way cuter than that," Michael scoffed. "And anyway, I don't have to listen to human rules. Pretty sure Raph isn't. His menagerie has to be illegal."

"As far as I know, barn owls are fine in the UK, and rabbits and fish shouldn't pose a problem." Gabriel shut the book and left it on the table; Raphael would probably like it. "Though I have to agree with you that your Dame Peeg is cuter."

He gently tickled the tiny bit of her tummy that was visible. "I suppose you'll be letting her run about the room? You should probably get a cage with a wheel anyway, so she has somewhere to retreat, especially if Pudge decides she looks tasty again. As Raphael said, they're mostly insectivores. I can look for more details on hedgehog care for you."

Michael shook his head. "Humans are crazy. That makes no sense - why the adorable rolly-polly Dame Peeg is illegal while that menace of a bird isn't." He shot the owl a glare. "I guess because she's too awesome to keep inside. But okay, I'll follow your advice because um..." He gave an embarrassed smile, "I have no idea what I'm doing. But isn't this way better than a hellbeast? Definitely."

Gabriel laughed at Michael's embarrassed smile; it was endearing. "When do you have an idea of what you're doing? And come on, you can't compare this to a hellbeast. Can I hold her again?"

"I can compare her to a hellbeast since in theory that's what I was trying to find," Michael explained, holding her out. "For Failchrist who, by the way, is freaking weird."

He paused. "Oh yeah, I guess I left Aziraphael out there too. Oh well, he'll be fine."

[cattygabriel]

The Messenger stared at him, hand still outstretched towards Dame Peeg. "You left Aziraphael out there with a hellbeast on the loose?"

"Nope. There aren't any hellbeasts around anyway," Michael replied. "Gaaaaaaaabe should I let Dame Peeg back in the wild?" He looked down at her. He wasn't ready to be a father, and she was too young to be his sidekick.

"Are you certain?"

Gabriel looked down at the hedgehog too, stroking her head lightly. "As adorable as she is, I think you should."

Michael nodded. "Will you come with me?"

[cattygabriel]

Gabriel smiled. "Sure. I'll miss her already."
