Summary: Belial goes for an early morning walk
The sun had barely risen; the sky was still a deep blue, and it was calm and quiet. Belial generally preferred warmth and noise, but there were times when he would rather be alone. He moved across the grass silently, pristine white shirt gleaming in the semi-darkness. Ah, there it is.
The Crown of Satan knelt before a little plant, running light fingertips across leaves and soft petals. It was the plant Raphael had saved, and it was growing at a very healthy rate; Belial had been helping it along, figuring it would do no harm to have the angel grateful to him. Giving the stem a last stroke, he stood and walked on. He could feel the dew soaking through his thin black trousers, the grass and leaves brushing against his legs; he breathed in deeply, inhaling the cool crisp morning air and listening to the rustling of the leaves. Occasionally he paused to rest his hand against the trunk of a tree or brush his fingers against a bush. His lips were curved up in a small smile, very different from his habitual amused smirk.
It was a side of himself that few beings ever saw, however, and so despite his relaxed demeanour, he was on the alert for anyone else enjoying the pre-dawn silence. He leaned against a tree, watching the sky brighten.
