His mundane is being stupid. Again.

[warriorscribe]

Mundane, you're letting something so small interfere with your inspiration. We have important things to deal with in the tower...others need me.

May I give you strength? I know you admire my ability to press on even under pain of anxiety and doubt. If you can write it, imagine it, can you not use it?

[galiel]

Did something happen...?

[warriorscribe]

It's been settled now, but...something in her life made her very anxious. I worry about how much it can affect her...

[galiel]

It seems to be something all muns have in common.

[warriorscribe]

Yours as well?

[galiel]

She has essays to write and is a bit under stress at the moment. it hasn't to do with playing but she has a hard time to feel excited about the topic.

[warriorscribe]

Oh...

*A glance over his shoulder.* It isn't your fault...you blame yourself for everything.

*Enoch shook his head at the response. There was some amusing story or another about a log and a splinter, but it wasn't worth interrupting this conversation further.*

Studies can be difficult, but I'm sure the overwhelming obligations will pass.

[galiel]

O-oh, it's not your mun's fault, it really isn't!

[Galiel shook her head as well. And yes, her Mun feels guilty for worrying another.]

I am sure of it as well. But she doesn't like the topics she has to write about.

[warriorscribe]

I think all of us knew that but her. *A small smile. Mundanes, right?*

Mm...forcing yourself to write can't be a good experience...

[galiel]

[Mundanes, so easy to worry.]

For some reason she always ends up with the things she doesn't like...

[warriorscribe]

It's a shame luck can't be borrowed the same way strength of resolve can.

*A persona only goes so far! Not that he knows what he's suggesting is called that or related to that concept.*

[galiel]

... Sharing luck you say?

[If she could split her luck to share it with her mun...]

[warriorscribe]

*A chuckle.* Yes, as in, it isn't as easy to share.

*A pause.*

....You...can't transfer your luck, can you? *He does forget he's dealing with an angel sometimes.*

[galiel]

Well, not the way you think...

[But that's another story.]

[warriorscribe]

*Worried stare, not-daughter. What are you hiding from him?*

[galiel]

[Oh no. Maybe she can change the topic. ... But how?]

[warriorscribe]

Galiel...

*...Every bit the father, isn't he> Though for the sternness in his tone, it's still soft and genuinely worried.*

[galiel]

...

[Yes, he's being much like a father right now.]

[warriorscribe]

*He waits a bit longer before sighing and lowering his gaze. Sawaki always did tend to write towards suffering (why must his mundane too?), and her silence was worrying him.

But if she didn't want to tell him, well...he'd respect that, however grudgingly.*

[galiel]

It's a bit hard to explain...

[She took a hand of his into hers.]

[warriorscribe]

*If she's inherited his love of learning and teaching, she would try if difficulty in expressing it was the only problem.*

...If it's upsetting, you don't have to tell me.

[galiel]

It's not upsetting, but I am unsure where to start... it might be a bit complicated.

[warriorscribe]

I see... If it doesn't harm you, then it's all right to take your time. *He pats her hands with his free hand.*

[galiel]

[Galiel blinks a few times as she looked at him.]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch gives her a questioning, attentive look. Was something on her mind?*

[galiel]

[Actually not, it was just a bit unexpected.]

Is something wrong?

[warriorscribe]

I could ask you the same. Is something bothering you about what I said?

[galiel]

[She shook her head and smiled up at him.]

It isn't.

[warriorscribe]

Did you come to some other thought, then? *He wouldn't be asking if he didn't sometimes do the same.*

[galiel]

... [Galiel nodded sheepishly.]

[warriorscribe]

*His smile is just as open as ever. No need to be so sheepish!* What is it?

[galiel]

I wondered if this is what having a family feels like...

[warriorscribe]

You don't-...

*Don't have families in your reincarnations? he nearly asks, but stops himself. He knows if she does it must be a sensitive subject. It was hard enough for him keeping his memories throughout...*

[galiel]

[Maybe she could call the other members of the Heavenly 7 her family. Then again, it was a bit of a complicated topic, angels having families that is...]

[warriorscribe]

*She couldn't have gotten the best first impression of it, could she? Considering she doesn't have the memory of Michael and Lucifel together as angels like Enoch does, to give her an understanding of Michael's fixation...

Enoch simply smiles and brings his hand up again, this time to cover her hands on his.* It is.

[galiel]

[She hadn't. Lucifel had fallen long before she even came to be. Most angels that came after them has little to no idea how the time before Lucifel's rebellion had been like.

But this feeling of "family"...] It's nice.

[warriorscribe]

*A little chuckle, somewhat distracted.* It is, isn't it? To have family that will not die...

*Though for her to exist in the first place, given the word choice, well, that doesn't bode so well for him. Enoch is doing his best to ignore that. It doesn't matter in a space like this, after all.*

[galiel]

To have a family at all.

[warriorscribe]

Does... I'm sorry, I know you don't like to talk about it, but does "reincarnation" not entail being born as a human on Earth in your case?

*He really is sorry that he has to ask this. But here he thought they'd been suffering from similar maladies and...part of him is glad to know he might be wrong after all.*

[galiel]

It never has... did you think...?

[Perhaps there were times she thought she is human due to the memory loss she is suffering from every time. But other than that?]

[warriorscribe]

*Might want to re-think that "never", Galiel, considering Ishtar is an explicit case. And it's an implication in Remiel's case as well - if he did not become human, why else would God allow such a thing given what had happened in his own mission?

Of course, though...well, it was obvious Enoch did think that. That's what reincarnation meant, after all...*

Then what...

Okay, in Remiel's case i had no idea.

[galiel]

It's... I am not sure myself. Michael might be able to explain this better than me.

[That she is suffering from amnesia every time she walks on earth doesn't make things easier.]

Aaaah, crap, sorry! I keep losing track of who's told whom what. >_<

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch nodded slowly. He doesn't like talking about something that so overtly makes Galiel uncomfortable, so...he felt perhaps it was better to leave it at that.*
