Leave?

I looked nervously between Lucifer and Ezekiel. They just looked at each other, neither of them said anything.

"I didn't think I'd ever get to know the former Archangel Ezekiel." Lucifer mumbled after a while and took a deep breath. My brother inclined his head thoughtfully.

“It's based on reciprocity. It's a really strange feeling to face the devil himself. "

The devil bowed his head at his words and gave me a look.

"Your brother shows more respect than your little friend back then."

I laughed softly.

“You don't have a reputation among people, which cannot be said about archangels,” I replied, whereupon the man snorted. Then the devil's gaze returned to my brother in front of him.

"Well then, you're planning to take revenge with my god of death and his little friend," he muttered softly. I was too interested in what this mighty man was thinking. But I couldn't even guess his thoughts. My brother nodded, but his eyes narrowed. 

"Right. But what do you care? "

Now Lucifer's expression also darkened.

“Don't forget who you're talking to. Zayn was one of my best men, how do we help each other. So it is in my interest to find out which creatures he works with. Somebody like you might understand that, right? "

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to introduce the two of them? I almost feared I would regret it, but I would have to wait. Ezekiel did not answer and Lucifer also shook his head to drop this topic.

"Well, it doesn't matter. I'm really excited to see how this story ends but now to something else. Did you talk about Nyria? I heard something about the aging process. "

I listened up. Had Nyria told him about it? I now stepped forward and joined my brother's side.

“She told you. That at least saves us from telling you everything. What do you say? Does she get close to people or do we maybe get a surprise after all? ”I said and looked at the devil. His gaze had become impenetrable and it seemed as if he was thinking about it too. Nyria had probably already got an answer to those words, but why hadn't she told me about them? Did she want to think about it herself first? Lucifer rubbed his chin.

"I'm not sure. I got to know some Nephilim and they all stopped aging at some point. However, Nyria is more human than inhuman, I dare to doubt that this is also the case with her. The time will tell."

I bowed my head at his words.

“You are probably right. Does it surprise you when I say that I feel something like fear when I think about Nyria maybe ... "

I interrupted myself. No, I couldn't think of that. You could tell by the way how much I despaired at the thought. Lucifer's mouth twitched as he looked me up and down.

"No, that doesn't really surprise me," he muttered. Well, I thought so. He said something else, but I wasn't listening anymore. I withdrew inside and focused on the connection between Nyria and me. Just as she could read my feelings, I was also able to sense and recognize her feelings.

Nyria.

Hm?

When I heard her voice my body tensed.

You talked to Lucifer. Why didn't you tell me what his guess was? , I thought and put my hands in my trouser pockets. Shit, being so vulnerable about her puked me! It was my weak point, but would I want to change something about it? No certainly not. She was the one who changed me, I would be eternally grateful to her for that. In me it remained calm. Did she feel caught? 

II didn't want you to worry about it. it finally came back from her. I let out a sigh. That was to be expected. 

"Hey!"

A snap of my fingers before my eyes pulled me back. I looked irritated at my brother, who was staring at me.

"What's wrong?" He asked. Now I also noticed the look with which Lucifer was looking at me. 

"Nothing," I mumbled weakly.

“He's worried about his girl. You should never have started with this topic, Ezekiel. ", Said the devil, the corners of his mouth still twitching in amusement. I turned away with a snort. Was he going to make fun of it? I didn't think that's funny at all. Suddenly Ezekiel glared at Lucifer too. 

“Don't make fun of it! I know exactly how he feels now. "

My brother defended me? That irritated me as much as it did the devil. We both stared at him, unable to utter a word. 

"Let's go.", My brother said and looked at me. I just nodded. 

I smiled and watched them go, then stepped out from around the corner.

"I didn't expect that." Lucifer mumbled, whereupon I approached him.

"I didn't expect that he would defend Zayn either, but you have to know that Ezekiel's wife at that time ... also succumbed to her age."

After I finished saying these words, the man across from me stared strangely at me.

"When Zayn was so absent, you talked to each other in your mind, didn't you?" He mumbled, to which I merely nodded.

"Why didn't you tell him?" He asked and looked me over carefully. What was it about me that confused him so much? Why was he looking at me like that? 

“Because he would only have racked his brains over it. But he's already doing that anyway. What do you think of Ezekiel? ”I changed the subject - completely unobtrusively of course. I didn't want to talk any more about Zayn and me. It made me nervous for a reason unknown to me. Now he became thoughtful. His eyes clouded a little. 

“I'm not quite sure what to think of him yet. And it's hard to imagine that he loved someone. ”Was his calm answer. I folded my arms and winked at hm. 

"You didn't think it was possible that Zayn would change so much, or am I wrong?"

Now apparently speechless, he stared at me. I was silent and waited for him to say something.

"And how exactly do you want to proceed now?" He finally asked and looked again in the direction in which the two brothers had disappeared. I shrugged my shoulders.

“We haven't talked about that yet. But I would like to ask you a favor. ", I answered, whereupon he looked at me strangely extensively.

"And what kind of favor is that supposed to be?"

I clasped my hands and fluttered my eyelashes.

“Would you let us have Ty for a while? I think he would be of help to us. "

I stared at her in disbelief. Should I leave Ty to her? Just because? I looked into her eyes and saw both sincerity and hope in them. I admired this girl for so much. She didn't give up and stood up for others. You saw something like that very often down here. And as for her aging ... Perhaps it would turn out differently than expected? When it came to her powers and abilities, she had surprised us all too. She still looked up at me expectantly. Sighing, I ran a hand through my hair. I gave in. 

"All right then. Wait here, I'll order it back. "

With that, I rose and left Nyria alone in the hall. I trotted down a few corridors and called for my loyal subordinate until he appeared in front of me a few minutes later.
