"How did you figure it out?" Love asked Honestly as they regroup, righting the bookshelf and making sure the human was only minimally damaged (okay, so Lust tended to him while Love pointedly ignored the man).
"Well aside from the general feeling that this was all just wrong, the biggest clues came after the whole clubbing debacle. His sudden indifference towards her," Honesty jerked her chin toward the increasingly confused human, "coinciding with his growing interest with other woman."
Honesty and Lust exchanged smirks before she went on.
"And while you haven't been the most attentive toward the girl, she's found a friend while you've been occupied with him."
"What?" Love spoke at the same time he did.
"Oh yeah. She says he's a traveler like her. American too." He piped up for the first time. "I think he's good for her," the human said, looking meaningfully at the angel. "She said whole reason she went on this trip across Europe was to take some time for herself after a bad breakup. And look what happened, unexpectedly, she found someone special."
Love rolled her eyes and fought back the urge to throw the man across the room again. "That's a cute story," she said dryly. "But can you give us more...helpful information? What does he look like?"
"Black hair, grey eyes...he seems like a very relaxed guy. Oh, and says his name is Lee?" The man parroted off the top of his head.
"Shit," muttered Love, "yeah that's Chaos alright…"
"Well now we know who and why he's messing around on your turf," Lust frowned grimly, "he wants revenge for what you and Anger did to him."
"It was not just us. The decision to cast him out was between all of seven us, with Time's agreement on the matter. And I was not the one who made him fall for that demon from hell!"
"It's not the time to dwell on that now," Honesty stepped in, "right now we need to focus on getting back the girl, unharmed and as safely as possible. We're going tracking, and we need to head out fast. There's practically nothing but forest around us, there's no telling what he'll be doing."
Love nodded heavily, "let me get my gear."
And then she was gone in a flash.
Honesty exchanged a look with Lust.
"We're going to have to call everyone else. We need strength in numbers to go up against Chaos." The male angel chuckled. "She is going to incinerate us. She's made it clear she doesn't want to get Anger involved."
"Please," the golden angel rolled her eyes, "she's being too hard headed about this. She knows he'd want to help, and he misses her just as much, I know."
"Oh we all know," Lust smirked, before being cut off by a strangled sound from the human man in the corner.
"Wh...who - who is it you're talking about exactly?"
The angels exchanged get another look.
"We have to bring the human along," she said, jerking her head toward the man.
"Oh yeah," Lust chuckled. "C'mon man. We're going fallen angel hunting! And you're the bait!"
This is gonna go great... :)
Anyway, thoughts? Feelings? Are you more confused? (Ha!) Or is it starting to make sense?
Until next time, wishing you all a great day/night wherever you may be. And please, be kind to one another!
