I think that would hurt me more than it hurts either of you.

Raven grins brightly.

"But it would make me feel better, perhaps. I am testy today."

He really is. People are often ridiculous. He tends to forget that. And then he remembers. This is rarely pleasant for anyone involved.

Testy, and no socks on hand?

*He looks down at his sandal-clad feet.*

That's a shame.

Raven snorts.

"You are the one wearing sandals, perhaps. It is a thing that may be remedied."

Sandals and socks? Why, I'm sure that my father wouldn't approve.

"He is fond of micromanaging, yes."

Raven blinks.

"It is, perhaps, a common trait."

Perhaps. Maybe not. I mean, I looked at him, and I said, I said unto him, relax and have fun, man or you'll give yourself a heart attack.

But does he listen?

"I think he is deaf."

Raven is very solemn.

"It is a consequence of the deep-sea diving, perhaps."

He never did pass on "thou shalt wear a diving suit".

"It is possible he likes being naked. It is a thing."

Up in heaven? It's all naked, all the time. One of the things they don't tell those people down here. Down there. The people.

"It is possible they frown on the exporting of angelic porn, I would think."

Raven tilts his head, considering.

"It would certainly make the Church more money, I think. Also better publicity."

Perhaps Aziraphael should be consulted in this matter.

Raven raises an eyebrow.

"Perhaps it should be a mandate from On High? I do not think he is the type to enjoy videotaping."

Raven says nothing of Crowley.

I wouldn't think so, either, but he is always full of surprises.

"He is like a pinata, perhaps? Or a pastry?"

Raven looks puzzled.

This may be deliberate.

"There is a saying about boxes of chocolates, I think. He has a nougat center?"

Caramel, I think.

"You are fond of that particular flavor?"

Raven is so very innocent.

Really.

Every now and then. One wouldn't want to get in a flavor rut, you know. Especially when it comes to chocolate.

*Oh, Adam can do innocent, as well.*

Raven grins brightly.

"It is a thing I will remind Alanna of, perhaps. Also, I will help. I am good with knots."

Raven nods, firmly.

"Vanilla is unpleasant, I think."

Perhaps not.

*Adam frowns at the bird.*

Raven looks wounded.

"I had thought it was entertaining. I am mistaken?"

Watch the eyebrows go up.

*Watch Adam's furrow.*

Not especially, no.

"Well, then."

Raven looks very smug.

Then he flicks a cookie at the Jesus-figure.

Surprise!

*Jesus-figures don't much care for cookies. It's a little known secret. He takes the cookie and nibbles it, before making a face.*
