You. I know what was said and promised and waged, and I know the words you like best, and whose blood need the spilling and the way of it all - I know it, and I know of you, and you shall have your due freely. Don't touch me

I'm sure you can at least agree that the service rendered was effective.

[one_of_heaven]

can and cannot do all that I bloody well fancy, Grantz. And I've no present appetite for kindness.

The service was as ordered, and no more.

[unresearched]

Seems you intended goal was mildly thwarted. And it's Szayel-Apporo, if you so please. My services to you are at an end, as far as I'm concerned.

Do angels bleed the same as humans, I wonder?

[one_of_heaven]

I have made no enemies since my arrival in this City, merely instruments.

Grantz, you test my patience.

[unresearched]

I am no instrument.

A question to sate my curiosity is too much? A shame.

[one_of_heaven]

How much meant for intimidation, how little for clinical curiosity...

...it depends on your subject of inquiry. Blood is an emulation of human anatomy, once which some angelic creations find either superfluous or too taxing on personal resources. It is not an adequate measure of either our sustenance or functionality. Auras play the particular part.

Damage can be evoked with no regard to physical prowess by influencing one's aura balance. Warding or... the cutting of one's... wings... mmmm...

You ask the wrong question, Grantz. Do angels bleed as humans? On the surface, if begged prettily. Do they hurt as humans do...? Hah....

...and your second favour?

[unresearched]

I appreciate your being forthcoming. Saves me having to find out by trail, you understand. Those get so messy.

Your favour is still owed, until I find such a need. Don't worry about that.

[one_of_heaven]

Grantz...

[one_of_heaven]

...does your kind have any inkling of severely diluted shame?!

[unresearched]

Some are more restrained than others.

[one_of_heaven]

I see. But you're the well bred sort with an acknowledgment of duty, honour and pride, yes...?

[unresearched]

I think you'll find I know when to restrain myself, and I know who to bend to.

[one_of_heaven]

Lovely.

Then, since you know your duty so very well, up in Luppi's bed you go. I hear it needs warming.

[unresearched]

And it can be warmed by a lesser being than I.

[one_of_heaven]

Don't think rodents are quite up for the task, Gran~tz.

[one_of_heaven]

Perhaps your fat blubs?
