No, I understand all too well! You liked the film well enough, so you decided to read the book again. You liked that well enough, too, and now the tour is in your city. And despite your so-called unending workload, you've still found the time to get me a new account and a new face.

None of this surprises me. We both know you've never had any sense of self-control. It is your dithering that I find exhausting. Make up your mind: either choose a damn game or don't. It makes no difference to me, so long as you stop going on about your many and varied [lip-curl] feels.

[A small frown creases Javert's features when the tale begins and only deepens as the archangel continues. Just as well he had never had much faith of his own, at least not in the unseen: the understanding that God is apparently dead in Raziel's world is jarring enough as it is, and difficult enough to grasp. Surely it must be impossible.

He meets Raziel's eyes, his gaze sharp and searching. His voice is still deferential, but there's a note of skepticism there now that wasn't present before.] I'm hardly a theologian, but it seems to me impossible to kill the Almighty.

[Limited as his own faith is, the words still come awkwardly to his tongue. How the universe might even continue to function without some form of ultimate authority is beyond him. It was the nature of that authority that drove him to the Pont-au-Change, not the existence of the authority itself.]

Well, Father allowed it to happen, I suppose. [ he rubs a knuckle in the corner of his eye, wincing a little. ] I know Father better than anyone, and even I was shocked. But-- he made provisions, which I wasn't aware of until relatively recently. An.. heir, with Father's blood.

[ he manages another smile. ] I suppose I should have guessed as much, really. Father was always a proponent of second chances and redemption.
