how would Israfel (and pre-fall Ram?) feel about a Gabriel who is obliviously in love with Michael, and occasionally goes on rants about how much of an ass My is being?
Israfel, as always, tries to stay neutral in any conflict between nestmates. Though pre-fall Michael is far less of an ass than afterwards, so there’s less fuel for the rants. He reminds you that Michael has a unique way of looking at situations, and that while his behavior can be irritating, he does care about you. And that telling him does little good when he’s not the one you have an issue with. The fact that you are in love with Michael isn’t something he’d bring up; that’s for you to discover in your own time. After Ramiel’s fall Israfel has little to say even with the escalation in Michael’s behavior. He might talk to Michael on his own later, but for you he offers an ear instead of advice.
Ramiel would laugh. Pre-fall none of Michael’s ‘fights’ with you have seemed like anything more than sibling squabbles. Growing pains, he might say. And then tease you that maybe Michael isn’t the only one going overboard.
