The angel girl was sitting up in the morning. She reached up to yawn and found that a stabbing pain crept into her shoulder. Her head twisted so that she could see her left wing, which was hanging limply. She frowned and then began to look at the place she was in."Odd..."she muttered, A place like this was new to her. The heavenly home she used to reside in was now far away and unattainable at the moment. Modern conveniences like the kitchen appliances and a nearby television were completely unfamiliar and caused her to wrinkle her brown in disorientation. "Whoever brought me here will have some explaining to do." She thought aloud, softly to herself. The sound of footsteps thudding softly on carpet caused her to look over her other shoulder. Ashton ran a hand through his air and his eyebrows rose.
"So, you're awake?"
"Yes, and who are you?"She inquired.
"My name is Ashton. What is your name?"
"Navri. Just Navri."
"Interesting name."He yawned and walked over to a chair across from the couch. He thumped down into the cushions and sighed. "I can bind that wing up for you if you want. It might need to stay stationary since it is broken."
"Go ahead. "She stood up so that he could reach it easier. He flipped open the lid on the box of medical supplies that was still sitting out on the side table from the night before.
"So what happened to you?" Ashton asked as he lifted her wing into a folded position and began to wrap around the broken bone.
"I was expelled from heaven for a crime I didn't commit." Navri sighed and ruffled her other wings feathers. She could feel the growing tension as he wrapped it around a splint.
"So you are an angel hu?" Ashton said wrapping the material around her torso then tying the bandaging off. "Do you guys often fall to earth like that?"He chuckled lightly trying to make the mood less edgy.
"No, only if we are being punished or exiled. Sometimes we get to come back if we are sent down during our trial. I however never had a trail and was sent down here by an evil angel named Raventh." She took a deep breath after finishing and shuddered at the sound of his name.
"That's not fair though. You should have been given a chance to prove your innocence don't you think?" He was frowning and sat back down in his chair. Ashton felt he was becoming hungry and groaned as he realized he needed to go get up and make some food for the two of them. "You got a preference on what you would like to eat for breakfast?"Ashton muttered as he strode into the adjacent kitchen space. She followed him to the doorway and leaned against its frame.
"What's that? Breakfast?" She tilted her head a bit to the side and furrowed her brow trying to see if she did recall what the mealtime was.
"It's the most important meal of the day! I can't believe they don't have that were you are from." He said laughing a little bit a gain at how naïve she was at the moment. Navri frowned.
"We eat twice…most of the rest of the time was doing jobs for the higher ranking angels or fight in battles against demons who lurk up from hell."
"That's interesting…"He dragged out the word interesting a bit. Ashton set down the plates of food at the small table and began to start on his own. "Go ahead. Don't be shy."He chuckled motioning to the second chair across from him.
Navri sat down and picked up the fork and a knife that were sitting next to the plate. She began to eat in a very delicate and graceful manner. If you hadn't know she was an angel you would have thought she was royal given the way she spread a napkin over her lap and cut the food into small pieces before placing them in her mouth for consumption. Ashton chuckled. "You don't have to be so formal about it..."He ran his sleeve across his mouth and she laughed.
"Yes, but it is a habit I think would be wise to keep."She winked. "You should probably learn to get some table manners yourself."Her voice was sharp like a needle those last few words but it was tinged with honest caring for him. "You would probably have a girlfriend if you did."Navri thought aloud looking off to the corner with a sly smirk on her face. Ashton jolted foreword and almost spewed food everywhere.
"WHAT? What makes you think I...I don't have a girlfriend?"He said stammering a bit. He had turned red with embarrassment.
"Well, the way you carry yourself and the state of your apartment, because a woman would have most likely decorated a bit. You haven't got a thing on any of the walls except for your shelf over there with all the astrology books on it."She smiled with confidence and seemed to glow a bit. Even with her wings safely hidden so she looked normal her celestial radiance made her presence far from normal. Ashton made a sound in the bottom of his throat.
"I guess this is what I get for taking care of you. Criticism."He glared at a wall and then stood with a sigh. "But, I can't blame you for it. Just stating the obvious I suppose. There is a girl though who I might ask to be my girlfriend. She is nice and cute I suppose although sometimes she get crazy when I am with my friends, more specifically the female ones." He ran a hand though his hair and then picked up their finished plates and carried them to the sink to be washed.
Navri nodded a thank you. "You should ask her out some time. "She tilted her head to the side and looked out the window. It was sunny that morning. "Do you mind showing me around? Maybe we can talk about your interest in astrology? I happen to like the subject myself."She was smirking again.
"Why not?" Ashton shrugged. "It is a Sunday after all and I have nothing better to do until tonight." He smiled and then frowned."But I think we will need some money for some girl's clothes for you."He said stalking off into his room to dress and find any cash he had on his person. "You can't stay like that using my clothes that are too big among other factors." He mumbled as she followed him and stood in his doorway.
"Why? We hardly wear anything were I am from so it doesn't bother me."Navri shrugged.
"Yes but it bothers me."He said in a low mutter.
