❛  why did you leave without saying goodbye?  ❜ - from charlie at @hellredeem

"Ah'...." He opened his mouth, only to close it again. He was a lot of things, sure, but a lot of those things had also changed over the last months. And one thing he was incredibly bad at now? Lying. Especially to Charlie. Ever since Husk had sang a little diddy to him on the corner, Angel had felt his walls coming down more and more, and felt himself become more and more vulnerable. Charlie was hurt - he could tell. He refused to hurt her again.

"Ah' felt like ah' needed t'. T' protect th' hotel." His voice was firm, not a shred of deceit there. He truly felt that he had made the right choice, even if it had hurt others. Short-term consequence for long-term reward, that sort of thing. Maybe he should have consulted the others first. Maybe he should have thought about the impact it would have made. But. He needed to keep them safe.

A sigh, looking down at his boots, before back up to Charlie. "Th' Vees...they up t' somethin'. Ah' just know it. And unfortunately, ah'm owned by th' shittiest one of 'em. Maybe not th' most powerful but...most manipulative, that's f' sure." Lips pursed together. "Don't want him t' take advantage of that. Don't want any of those fucks t' try to use me to gain an upper hand when it comes t' this hotel. Figured it was best t'...take myself off th' game board, yeh' know?"

“ you   uh   …   y’sure   he   ain’t   in   there? ”   it’s   definitely   not   her   place   to   question   the   fucking   princess   of   hell.   but   ..   millie’s   still   the   one   peering   around   side   of   her   legs ,   looking   further   into   the   hotel   that   is   supposed   to   be   the   housing   for   their   most   recent   client.   this   was   the   worst   part   of   the   job ,   tracking   down   the   guys   whose   payments   didn’t   come   through   like   promised.   this   is   how   she   dies—   isn’t   it?   “ no   offense!   ‘m   not   trying   to   doubt   you   or   nothing ,   your   majesty? ”   formal   address   tastes   funny   on   her   tongue.   there’s   a   reason   people   like   charlie   morningstar   don’t   venture   down   to   imp   city.   “ just   …   he   gave   us   this   address.   mentioned   you   by   name   and   everythin’. ”

❝  oh,  i  know  REDEMPTION  is  supposed  to  be  the  entire  point,  my  dear. ❞  there  is  still  a  touch  of  mockery  in  the  radio  demon's  voice  as  he  speaks  the  word  —  even  now,  he  continues  to  find  the  concept  as  laughable  as  ever.   ❝  but  the  masses  are  like  frightened  little  mice  —  and  what  better  way  to  send  them  scurrying  in  OUR  DIRECTION  than  spinning  fending  off  an  attack  from  the  heavens  above  into  a  selling  point?  why,  they'll  be  eating  out  of  the  palm  of  your  hand  if  it  means  saving  their  miserable  skins!  ❞

“ charlie   .. ”   name   drips   like   honey   off   her   tongue.   there   is   an   explosion   of   everything   she   can’t   put   into   words   within   her   chest.   all   the   softness   ,   the   kindness   ,   the   love.   years   together   and   such   praise   still   feels   like   the   first   time.   as   if   she   could   reach   out   ,   hold   the   feeling   between   her   fingers.   if   she   nourished   it   …   would   it   stay   forever?   one   hand   does   reach   forward   ,   enclosing   with   a   gentle   touch   around   wrist.   her   small   stature   pulling   the   taller   demon   close   enough   that   face   can   bury   within   crook   of   her   neck.   “ it’s   most   definitely   kind   of   the   other   way   around.   you   ..   you   know   that   ,   right   ? ”
