Doctor’s visit (part 2)
The songbirds around this clinic were not native to this country.
It was a strange realisation.
This one was an African bird, and it didn’t sit well with Asmodeus. Something was wrong. He frowned. This kind of inexplicable uneasiness was… rare?
Then again: This was possibly closest to heaven he could get on earth, this was Raphael’s clinic, so-
Speak of the… well, angel. He walked in through the door, ignoring the reading glasses on his nose to look from his notepad at him and… bark out a laugh. One break of composure before he put his crooked finger to his lips and simply smiled, mirth clear in his eyes, but calm again. He said: “Greetings, Asmodeus, what a genuinely pleasant surprise on so many levels to see you in our humble clinic.” And walked towards the other chair.
Asmodeus tilted his head. Slowly. And said: “Care to… illuminate some of them?”
“Oh, certainly.” He sat down. “But since you came here with a purpose, apparently, I’ll limit myself to two. My employee, Amurel - they saw you in – they… rarely speak their thoughts. This time? To cite their message to me: ‘Sir? Your care is requested. And, if I may add? If the healer’s code allows… well, the request comes from the hottest divine embodiment of the darker or lighter kind in existence. A second appointment might be appreciated by… everyone.’ So.” He chuckled, looking at the door he came through, “Amurel adjusted much better to Earth than I ever thought. And that, truly, is a pleasant surprise. The surprise of seeing you in a ‘holy’ clinic goes without saying… and since your company has never been unpleasant, the two-part illumination is complete” He waved his hand to finish the point and then grabbed a pen from his coat, placing his right ankle on the other knee, notepad wandered into his hand as well. A very smooth motion.
“But. To come to the point. What can I do for you?” Raphael said, now collected and paying gentle attention to Asmodeus. Eyes calm and caring, not paying attention to his notes.
… so that was the head of the ‘healer’ division when they wanted to… do their job.
Asmodeus was almost curious what… Raphael would possibly do.
