Summary: Raphael wants a replacement for the cursed blade that was taken from him. It may not be as easy as he thought...
The Edge of a Blade
The photos that lined the pages were beautiful. Weapons, especially swords and knives were more Michael's interest, not Raphael, though he did own one. Still, there was one in particular he desired, and it was the replacement for the cursed dagger that Gabriel had Adam destroy.
Surely Gabriel would let him get a new one? Back then it was warranted, but Raphael was better now.
Keeping the book open, very careful not to let the spine break, he moved over to his big brother. He showed him a photo that took up half the page. "Hey, Gabriel? Could you get me one of these? I want to have Belial curse it for me, so it'll need to be human-made but it's to replace the one that you took."
It was very pretty, he decided. But this was simple yet had an elegance to it.

Date: Saturday, 19 February 2011 05:41 (UTC)The gentle Archangel narrowed his eyes, tiny wings snapping out in a way that could have been threatening if they were full-sized. A green light began to shine around him and his eyes shifted to a darker colored green. "I don't have to tell you anything!" he snarled. "I'm still the Third in the Host, and I still have the ability to think for myself! I don't care if you or Michael do not believe I am well. I know I am and I don't have to prove it to anyone or even my own brothers!" He looked into Gabriel's blue eyes. "Let. Me. Go."

Date: Saturday, 19 February 2011 06:20 (UTC)Gabriel... The being that had comforted him and held him and... and even took him to Venice... Shaking his head he could slowly feel the angry waves ebb away.
And then he realized.
I've always looked up to you. I've always valued you and how you thought of me. But... But I need to walk on my own two feet at some point. How can I prove to anyone thatI truly have recovered if I behave like a child afraid of the dark?
He had Bound Asmodeus, after all. He was the Third in the Host, the Archangel of Healing. And yes, he had made questionable descisons lately but...
I'm not like that anymore...
Raphael shook his head and raked his fingers through the tousseled clumps of hair. He set the book aside, realizing he had still been carrying it. Setting it aside he let out a shuddered sigh. I have to let him protect himself too. I cant keep revolving my decisions based off the fear that they will be destroyed...

And he wasn't exactly blameless, either; he cringed as he remembered what he'd said in anger.
Noticing the cracks in his desk, he released it and waved a hand; the desk was whole again. If only it was this easy with Raphael.
