@silentwcrds || “ I’VE GOT YOU ” (Gabriel)
Taking the life of another, it was something that came with the war against Humanity and some of the lower angels would get caught in the crossfire. Asimel knew this, had accepted that casualties were a part of war, but something about seeing the blood of another on his skin, crimson on pale white. It had an effect on him that he was never able to explain. He would keep this to himself, of course, knowing the other higher angels would waste no time slinging their harsh words, taking any chance to cut him down due to their dislike of how close he was to Gabriel. Not even Gabriel knew how it affected him, as far as he knew, at least. There was no need to burden the Archangel with his problems.
The soft spoken words behind him, combined with the gentle touch of the cloth to the crimson stained skin caused Asimel to jump, not having heard Gabriel come into his room of the eyrie. The angel said nothing for the moment, staring into the mirror in front of him, unable to pull his eyes from the current state he was in.
