He smiled weakly and kissed his forehead. "If only your mother were as easy to please as you."
He spread a bony wing frame in front of his face. "What good is a wingless angel?"
"I'd figure you'd be too busy with your oh-so-precious Malik to care for Jericho."
He made a portal under Jericho that dropped him in his arms.

He clung to his tail.
"'Was' being the operative word."
"And I was your first official husband and the perfect man for you."
"Because you love him more than me and I can't stand it!"

"Most likely."
"He's not going to betray his master."
He took off his ring and tossed it away. She picked him up.
"No!" "...Yes."
He watched his children with no happiness in his eyes.
She mentally shrugged.
"L-let her." "What do you want to do?"
"Yes." "No."
She placed her brother in her arms. "She doesn't want to."
"Your father doesn't want me to tell you." He mentally shrugged.
