[Well, this is certainly a very shaky view of Kevin’s old fashioned dress shoes. And hey, now what seems like a thumb has blocked the camera. ]

…Hm? Oh! Is it working?

[He shakes the tablet, apparently under the impression that kinetic energy might help it function a little better. The sad truth is that it doesn't.]

Ah, I-I hope so. Hm, sir? Madam? My name is Kevin Cecil, and it recently came to my attention that now I can…heal minor afflictions and illnesses of different natures. If I can be of any assistance, do not hesitate to contact me. I’m currently at…Oh dear Lord, is that St Paul’s?!

[soul_sister]

Yes! Yes! I was just [There's a scuffle and a plaintive "LET ME UP!" Suddenly, the audio clears up as Rosette picks up the tablet.]

Just meting out judgement.

[senseandcecilbility]

Ah...

[The nun sounds somewhat sinister and he feels strangely compelled to ask if the demon is alright, but then he realizes what he is about to do and stops himself before it is too late.]

I-I am glad to her that, sister.

[overclocking]

[He might reflect on the absurdity of this conversation later (a demon telling an angel to stop encouraging the evils of a nun), but that's for when his face and hair aren't being tugged anymore.]

Hey! [A THUMP, and a muffled pained noise.] —Stop encouraging her!

[soul_sister]

And you!

I have something to talk to you about too.

[senseandcecilbility]

...

[Kevin is increasingly UNSURE.]

[soul_sister]

[Her tone actually... gentles a bit?]

I'd like to make a request.

[senseandcecilbility]

[But she sounds like a nice girl when you wish to. His voice is much gentler.]

...Yes, sister?

[soul_sister]

Can you keep it a secret?

[senseandcecilbility]

[Oh bloody hell, you really love him, don't you?]

...

...Please, rest assured that I will not expose him. It is not...the first time. And my own situation is not much better either.

[soul_sister]

[There's an exhale from Rosette that's almost pure, unadulterated relief. She really doesn't even think about it, the question is carried out on that breath.]

... Yours?

[overclocking]

[Chrono, for his part, sits up from where Rosette had smooshed him into the carpet, dropping the hand that had been rubbing his head.

This conversation took a turn he hadn't been expecting, but he doesn't want to ruin it, so he just keeps silent.]

[senseandcecilbility]

[Kevin, for his part, is dealing with feelings. The nun's relief only confirms his greatest fears.]

It would be bad if others found out about me as well, so don't worry. I'm not particularly good at lying, though I can keep secrets.

[overclocking]

... What reason do you have to do that?

[His own need for secrecy aside, why wouldn't an angel want to fuck over a demon?]

[senseandcecilbility]

[Oh no, the demon is back!]

There is someone I must protect.

[Young master is not here, but Kevin is not taking any chances.]

[soul_sister]

...

I think I understand.

It's safe with us.

[senseandcecilbility]

[Less safe with this place's Lucifer, he thinks, but that does not make him any less grateful.]

...Thank you.

[And his next thought is that she doesn't deserve what will happen to her. It is the sort of thought that got him in real trouble with Heaven last time, but right now he doesn't care.]

SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY!

[soul_sister]

[There's a soft sound from her, a vague exhale as unseen she waves it out of the air.]

So what's your name, anyway? I can't keep calling you That Angel.

Re: SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY!

[senseandcecilbility]

[He cannot help but laugh at the idea of a nun calling him "The Angel" all over Exsilium.]

Kevin Cecil, sister.

[soul_sister]

Rosette Christopher! Better meeting you this time.

[senseandcecilbility]

Sister Rosette. Please, take care.

[And beware of the wicked demon.]

[soul_sister]

You don't have to worry about me.

[And with that cheerful comment, the line drops.]
