The video was posted to Youtube. It immediately got taken down for violating their Terms of Service, and the account was reported to the authorities. Most people thought it was a hoax. Some new movie or something. Others said it just felt too real. Either way, it went viral, even without Youtube's help. Then the news picked it up, and well... it

He rolls his eyes when she makes the Ew Face and shrugs. Well, rats aren't for everybody. Only other rats, really. And he doesn't feel like he looks starving, but he's not much for mirrors either. "I guess so. So what's you're excuse, hm?" She's a bit on the skinny side as well.

Good, they have to see him. That gives him something he can use. It's nice to know the enemy doesn't have all the fucking advantages. And. What? "Wait, so you all have these wings and you can't even fly? Like penguins? What stupid twist of evolution is that?" What the hell. Even Loplop can fly, and that mad fucker doesn't even have proper wings. "No offense, Dylan, that's just kind of unfair isn't it?"

And now he's stumbled onto a sore subject, obviously. Fuck. Family's incredibly important, he knows that. But man can it be painful to bring up. They've got that in common. "Sorry. I didn't know." He says it quietly, and tries to come up with what people say in situations like this, things that make the other person feel a little better. "It's a really cool name though." And that's all he's got. Sometimes the right words just don't even exist.

Dylan looks down at herself and raises her eyebrows. There's totally nothing wrong with her! She's always been a skinny streak of nothing. She probably looks worse than usual these days, like she can't take care of herself properly. She looks like she couldn't hurt a fly and yet she's an Arch - one of the more stronger types of angel. Reaching up to muss her hair, she frowns.

"I've always been like this. I move around a lot and stuff. I guess... I, well... I forget to eat. When I'm hunting, I forget to take care of myself sometimes. It's no big deal, like, once I've killed whoever I'm hunting - I'm okay again," Like how she spent nearly twenty bucks on strawberries and sat in Grant Park all afternoon. That was fun!

She looks amused for a few moments, "It's not something I've really, like, thought about. Um, our wings just make us even stronger when they're out. But nope, no flying..." she turns her head and peers over her shoulder to look at them. "I think it would be pretty fun to fly, though!" she says with an smile.

Dylan swallows hard and remains still for a few moments. She misses her mother terribly. She'd do anything to see her again. "It's... um, okay.. I don't remember much, it happened nearly thirty years ago.." Dylan knows this is a lie. She remembers it all too well. Dates and times are lost on her - but she remembers the attack as clear as day. It's probably not a big lie to others, but it's a big one for her personally. Angels can't lie - she seems to forget this.

She flinches, a sudden wave of pain coursing through her head as if someone slammed her head into a wall. She utters a barely audible, "Ow, fuck.." and rubs at her temple with small frown. "Um... thank you, I know she'd like it. Or maybe she'd be annoyed for like, not using my real name.. I dunno, maybe it would be a bit of both?" If she could even remember what on earth that was. She's sure it's something that began with an E. But she'd not certain.

Obsession overshadowing all else, then. He gets that, at least on a theoretical level. He's had all-consuming goals before. If food wasn't so easy for him to come across and so essential to his strength, he might have a similar issue. The scent of strawberries is not lost on him, but human beings and probably Angels need something a bit more substantial than that. "You should take better care of yourself, you know. It'll keep you strong." He's about to suggest that she carry some biscuits or something in her pockets, but he already sounds a bit like somebody's mum so he'll drop it.

He really can't believe that Angels can't fly. This is something that's going to bother him for a while. It is hilariously absurd. It's good to know, though, that chances are in his favor that neither Angels nor Demons are going to be able to get the drop on him when he's up on some roof.

'Angels plus lying equals pain' is not an equation he's learned yet, so he gives her a concerned look. "You okay?"
