[audio]

[Someone is definitely growling. You'd think he was a dog, but then he seems to form words. Every consonant sounds like a knife against stone.]

I'm staying away from the planet for a while. If anyone needs me—

[He hesitates.]

—too bad. [And he hangs up.]


[action]

[Despite his grumpy broadcast, Dezel can be found in certain places. One of them is Crowley's bar. He's invisible, but that doesn't stop him from cleaning glasses and making tiny, pretentious food. If you can't see him, it's like some invisible Christmas elf keeps leaving tarts everywhere.

Alternatively, he can be seen (or not seen) sulking in the Huntress' cargo bay, sitting on some boxes beside a window. In his lap is a fuzzy happy little slug that he strokes with due diligence.]

[ooc: If you're meeting Dezel in person and haven't done so, please fill out his seraph permissions!]

[There's a palpable silence. And then, very disbelieving:]

-- what?

[Lords help them both.]

[Dezel......]

Had you honestly never considered the idea that he might be as bad at making friends as you are?

[Judging by Dezel's face, that's a no. The backhanded remark makes him look away sharply and tuck his hat down, as if he doesn't want Mikleo to see his embarrassment. Which is true.]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[okay seriously fucking wind seraphim

Mikleo sees that awkward avoidance, but he figures Dezel will just get annoyed if he points it out, and they're already sort of toeing that line. Lucky you.]

It's not that far-fetched. He didn't treat you that differently than he treated the rest of us- you just aggravated each other more. He's always acted nonchalant but he wouldn't try if it wasn't important.

[Dezel is very tempted to just ollie out of this conversation, but he doesn't want to upset another friend today. He has a very limited amount.]

... Maybe. [He's still not looking at Mikleo. He doesn't really believe him, but some things Dezel has to see for himself. That's-- just how he is.]

action;

[nerdeology]

[Mercifully, Mikleo's not going to push it endlessly. He leans back on his heels with a quiet sigh, crossing his arms.]

Well, I'm not saying you should rush off and find him or anything. I just figure it's worth thinking about. This world's too nice to waste the opportunity in here.
