So.

[Slowly. And hoarsely.] That went exactly how you predicted it. Give or take.

More power to you, mate. Hope you're proud of yourself.

No, I don't have... anything else to say. Leave me be for a bit. Need to get my head on straight. If I can.

Not so cherry this week, are we?

[redsmoke]

Come to kick me while I'm down?

[picassos_razor]

There's little artistry to that, Crowley.


Hmmm sure is a shame though. You really did have potential.

[redsmoke]

A while ago I'd have taken that as a compliment. But you missed the boat on that one.

[picassos_razor]

You think I just mean as a demon?

[ His mouth pulls into a smile.

When is it ever a good thing for Alistair to smile? ]

Look at you. You know you can't ever be good - you're tainted, damaged. And you can't bare to be bad.

Say what you want about me Crowley - but those I see potential in, I carve and shape until they are something great. And you could have been. Like this you're just pathetic.

It's a pity you didn't last long enough to see the boys try their new card on you, Alistair. You wouldn't have lasted five minutes. I can't imagine.

[He flicks his eyes up to meet yours.] If the powers up there take an interest in seeing it played out regardless.... Heaven help you.

[picassos_razor]

Heaven already did help me.

[ He's the one who called breaking the seal a 'religious experience'. ]

I'd make my way home from there.
