Summary; The Twins met at last. Much angst, jealousy, tears and falling feathers.
Log;
It was early or late, depending how people measured time. They would attract less attention if they met at dawn. Thus, when the darkness was fading and the first sunlight hit the rooftop, Alexiel met with her companions to adjourn in direction of the Cathedral.

The lights of the City never dimmed, much unlike that coming from the stars above. They were less bright when contrasting on the pink and orange hues that replaced the deep blue that had marked the night. The air was chilly yet she did not feel cold, even with her thin cloak covering her and concealing her features.

Rosiel was everything to her. The climate, the city and the lights above meant nothing when came to her brother. Even those beside her.

He was there, so close, at her mere reach. Alexiel speeded the pace, wordlessly leaving the men’s side. Thousands of things troubled her thoughts, millions of things she wanted to say to her brother, do when she saw him. The anxiety increased with the damn ticking of the carousel; it was the first time it bothered her.

Alexiel controlled her feelings and paused, looking over her shoulder to wait for Cain and Lucifer. Men. They were so slow. But in their company she would not hear the ticking.

Cain skipped up the stairs towards the rooftop. It never failed to amaze him that the stairs would lead to different places depending on where the tenant wanted to go. Like the other day when he was looking for an empty corridor to play hopscotch, the building somehow ‘nudged’ him toward Room#60 onwards while he only remembered climbing two flights of stairs.

He reached his destination without even feeling tired. He preferred to walk whenever he can. Since his degeneration has slowed down here, he might as well make the best of it. Cain looked at the door that would open out to the roof and knocked on it thrice before pulling it open. Though Alexiel may live on a rooftop… which would be a public place, he always found it polite to let her know that he was here.

“Good day, Alexiel. I finally made it. Will anyone else either than both Lucifer and myself be accompanying you?” the blond greeted.

Lucifer was watching Alexiel, he knew what she was thinking about; Rosiel. That was mostly what she ever thought about, especially now that they were reuinted. With a frown, he spread his wings and launched from the building next door.

Gliding over, he alighted, all four wings nearly their full span, black feathers floating everywhere as he touched down. Lucifer refused to never make an impressive entrance.

"Yes, I imagine you invited Rosiel," Lucifer replied, "Will he be joining us?" Not a snide remark, he had been making a big effort to avoid the comments that Rosiel made to him for Alexiel's sake.

“Hello both of you,” Alexiel greeted, her voice was soft, her gaze travelled from them to the Cathedral, estimating the time of the flight. Almost no one was awake at this hour; those who remained up, were victims of alcohol or other substances to dismiss their appearance on the sky. “And thank you for your company. Now Follow me. Rosiel is waiting on the Dome of the Cathedral.”

Alexiel walked towards the end of the roof, turning her back at the possible fall behind to extend both hands towards the men. “Give me your hands, I’ll make the flight faster. Gabriel, if she wants, could join us on the way.”

Cain smiled at the latest arrival, waving to the stoic man. “Good evening, Mister Lucifer. Glad you came on time.” There was no doubt in the Crusnik’s mind that the other had been waiting and watching before he decided to make an appearance. The first time they’ve ‘met’, Lucifer has already showed how possessive he was over what he considered his. Cain was amused.

“I can’t wait to meet Alexiel’s twin,” the blond said excitedly. “Especially after all she had told me about him,” he continued, smiling as he placed his right hand into Alexiel’s left.

[alexielobsessed.livejournal.com]

Lucifer's eyes narrowed slightly as Cain took Alexiel's hand, but his own slid neatly to fit inside of her grip. Rosiel and Jibrille? The evening was going to end in bloodshed and ripped feathers.

Though Lucifer vowed not to start the massacre, he knew that he would at least end it. Jibrille was so falsely accepting, so ... his upper lip curled away from his teeth.

Gabriel flew down just as they were about to leave. "Hello there. It seems you have quite a group here Alexiel. I hope I'm not intruding." She said quietly.

She turend to Lucifer and one might almost think she glared at him. But she quickly returned to her natural serene look and said, "Hello to you as well."

Her attention then turned to the blond man, "I do not think you are one of us..." She said tilting her head a bit.

[againstgod.livejournal.com]

Alexiel nodded, her mind was wandering to notice the tension coming from Lucifer’s and Cain’s amusement. She even paid no heed to the beautiful sunrise that had started behind her. Rosiel dominated her mindset. With the ticking gone, her thoughts were flooded with the tragic events they had shared together.

“Be ready.” She was about to leap but Gabriel’s sudden apparition made her pause. “Gabriel, good soon to be morning. This is Cain Knightlord, a friend and neighbour. Cain, this is Gabriel, the elemental angel of Water.” She cut the introduction to not prolong the wait further. She was tired of waiting. “Try to follow us. We are going to the Cathedral, Gabriel. My brother is there.” The Organic Angel knew that Gabriel would apologise her curt hurry.

Grasping Cain’s and Lucifer’s hands firmly, Alexiel spun around and jumped ahead, spreading her six white wings and tearing the material of the cloak with the act. Her long hair fluttered with the luminous feathers from the speedy flight. The golden sunrays engulfed them, concealing their venture from unwanted, prying eyes.

It was Dawn with all the glistening intensity. The air that surrounded them became warmer, cradling them as in a cocoon, a stark contrast from the chilly breeze on the rooftop.

Alexiel still did not care, her eyes held a determination, her senses overwhelmed by the increasing closeness to her newly formed bond with Rosiel. Brother, do you feel me? Come to your sister…

Her heart felt heavy and fragile at the same time, it was like a crystal weighing within her chest that anyone could see and easily shatter on the hands of her brother. That thought made her feel weak, and despite as painful the perspective was, it relieved Alexiel - she was glad to find a weakness in her strong armour.

[[OOC: Uh, I suppose Gabriel&Lucifer can reply to this, then we will wait for either Cain or Rosiel]].

[alexielobsessed.livejournal.com]

Lucifer's upper lip curled to see Jibrille, but refrained for the moment, from saying anything curt about Jibrille to Cain. Alexiel was not paying much attention, he knew where her thoughts were and did not want to risk her ire or anger in breaking that concentration. If she would even notice.

As they alighted, he spread one set of his wings to glide, but not impede on Alexiel's wingspan.

"I'm sorry I did not mean to hold you up Alexiel." She said frowning. She took off, following slightly behind the other 3. She was somewhat hesitant about keeping up with them, feeling as if she didn't belong.

He followed the other two as the both took to the sky. It was a beautiful sunrise; Cain idly wondered whether Lilith and Abel had cleared the Cathedral as they said they would. He knew that Abel would want to confront him. It would have taken some amount of persuasion from Lilith, but Cain knew that she would be able to convince his twin.

The blond Crusnik gave Gabriel a thoughtful look while he pondered where he has met her before. It did not take long for him to tie her to the lady whom he has offered to show around a few days ago. ”I don’t suppose I am, but I am pleased to meet your acquaintance all the same, Gabriel. I chatted to you once through the journal.” He said amicably to the angel, trusting Alexiel to lead them to the right place.

When the Cathedral was upon them, Alexiel landed smoothly near the circular arch of the entrance. The sunlight was still shinning on her hair and wings, as if she had absorbed it, the Seraphita extinguished the beacon of warm light, not bothering to ponder why and how she did that. Adam Kadmon used to glow in a similar way in hir days of glory. It was meaningless, anyway.

Only her brother mattered.

“Stay here, please,” requested Alexiel to the two men, willing three of her wings away in a storm of white feathers. A real, divine mess to sweep off later by the inhabitants of the Cathedral. “Ask Gabriel the same. I need privacy.” She turned and approached, looking up the Dome, flying above with her original pair. The extra one always disturbed her and she did not wish to upset her brother.

All her wings vanished once she located herself on the roof. Alexiel surveyed the gothic structure with mild interest. Mosaics. The Dome was filled with precious multicoloured mosaics with incrusted gems within. It was lovely. No wonder Rosiel liked it.

“Brother?” she queried, anxiety clear in her voice.

In her emotional state, Alexiel hardly could stand a moment more without her twin on her arms.

[[OOC: Okay, here's the deal. Lucifer/Cain/Gabriel can keep taking turns and playing. Alexiel&Rosiel will be up for now thus I must wait for Rosiel's tag]].

[alexielobsessed.livejournal.com]

Lucifer inclined his head in understanding and as Jibrille approached stated, "Alexiel wants you to stay here so you don't spoil her moment of reunion with Rosiel."

Upper lip curling back, eh sneered as he perched on the Cathedral. "Pity Rosiel likes this peice of trash. I would prefer to burn it to the ground and piss in the ashes."

[bytwonames.livejournal.com]

Gabriel smiled at Lucifer, "I understand, I wouldn't want to spoil their meeting." She said in her usual calm, friendly manner. She didn't particularly like Lucifer, in fact she didn't like him at all, but she was kind to everyone and had yet to see a true reason to be cruel towards him...yet that is.

[alexielobsessed.livejournal.com]

And Lucifer didn't like her. In fact, a person could count on one hand how many people he liked. And that count would still be accurrate if someone were to take a machete to two of the fingers and a thumb.

He said nothing more to her, but waited, he had a feeling they would be waiting a while.

[alexielobsessed.livejournal.com]

Lucifer sneered at Jibrille and batted a wing at her none too nicely in attempts to knock her out of the way. He was not a tame puppy and now that Alexiel's attention was rapt elsewhere, he was feeling just a touch irritated.

"A friend?" He mimicked her. "Perhaps you are meant to be miserable. Some humans are. Victim's souls. First your crush on Abel turns him into a friend, how did you feel learning you weren't even a replacement, but a stand in?" Lucifer chuckled, he was feeling particularly vicious. "And now Ion. Will you try to rescue the morals and soul of that terrorist you used to be fond of? Will Dietrich turn into just a friend?"

[gentlehearted.livejournal.com]

Gaze flickering to the angel who had attempted to intervene and then back to Lucifer again, Esther couldn't help but listen to what he said. And she was afraid. Easy enough for an angel not to be frightened, but Esther was only a teenage girl, and this was, whether in her world or another, the devil.

"Stop it," she shook her head, hands raising to slightly cover her ears from his words. "I wasn't... I wasn't a replacement," Esther murmured, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment. But Abel hadn't actually said that. He had merely apologized. "And Dietrich isn't my friend anymore. He never really was. He's my enemy. He tried to kill me," she protested, even though she had a feeling it was rather hopeless.

[bytwonames.livejournal.com]

Gabriel was a little annoyed by this flick from Lucifer. She stood firmly in front of the girl and glared at Lucifer.

"Leave the poor girl alone! What do you hope to gain from this torment?" She then turned to Esther and smiled, "It's okay child, do not listen to anything he says, he plays games and tells lies." She said gently.

[alexielobsessed.livejournal.com]

"Lies? Jibrille, you should know the truth is always more... scathing than a lie," Lucifer smirked. "I hope to gain her suffering."

Then turned his attention once more to Esther, "He never said you were a replacement, a stand-in, but he apologized. For what? Being unable to admit it to your face? Everything is fine now, because Lilith is here. But how far would he have played with you had this world not taken you both. Hm? Would Cardinal Sforza still hate you?"

[gentlehearted.livejournal.com]

"He wasn't playing me!" Esther protested, her voice raising in volume. "Father Nightroad is my friend. And whether or not I was a replacement, he cares about me. I know he does! He's saved my life, more than once!" Esther was starting to get worked up now, upset and hurt over everything Lucifer was saying, just as he wanted her to.

"Her Holiness doesn't hate me, either. She told me so," she shook her head, quieting down and lowering her gaze to the ground.

[alexielobsessed.livejournal.com]

"Agitated, aren't you? I suppose that means you acknowledge the truth of my words and are now seeking to convince yourself otherwise," Lucifer replied, off-hand. Amused.

[gentlehearted.livejournal.com]

"It isn't funny," Esther glared at him now, obviously not amused in the slightest. "And it isn't true. You're trying to get me agitated," she murmured, looking Lucifer straight in the eye, fists clenched at her sides in resolve.

[bytwonames.livejournal.com]

"Lucifer, there is no need to torment this child! Stop it now. As for you child, do not get worked up, I know it is hard but still, you must not let him get to you. Nothing he says is true." Gabriel said getting angry with Lucifer.

[evilbeneath.livejournal.com]

Cain felt amused by the exchange, so he decided to do nothing about it but to observe. Lucifer knew more than he let on, especially when it comes to Lilith, Abel and the Duchess of Milan. It seemed that he saw right through her fears. Was it something an angel could do? Even when they are Fallen?

"I would have to agree with Mister Lucifer." Cain said, leaning against the wall.

[alexielobsessed.livejournal.com]

Lucifer noted Cain's interest, but would touch on the matters at hand little more, he had already succeeded in riling Esther.

"Poor little dear," Lucifer replied, "Will you let Jibrille coddle you? It is she who lies. I tell only the truth. You know that, it is why you are so upset."

[gentlehearted.livejournal.com]

Esther shot Cain a wounded look of slight surprise. He had been polite up until then and hadn't said much. Still, she supposed she shouldn't have been so taken aback, considering all that she had heard about him.

"I... I don't care what you think or say. I know what I know and... I can take care of myself," she folded her arms across her chest firmly, not feeling as confident as she looked but attempting to at least try not to get any more upset than she was.
