There had been something unnamed scratching at his senses for more days than he had deemed acceptable; a distant feeling of familiarity that he had been unable to place. The feeling had grown from a simple inconvenience to a fully fledged irritation that refused to give him peace, and now compelled him now to take leave of his office and satisfy his curiosity himself. 

The very walls of Hell itself seemed to have felt this strange presence too, sharing It’s thoughts with every quiet pulse of energy as he walked. It’s chattering grew louder in his ears, with all the sickening thrill of starved hyenas baying at the heels of some half-dead, unfortunate beast.

New-born doors and hallways opened as he followed their lead, each eager and willing to deliver their Lord unto his quarry. Hale had expected to find some piss-poor attempt at Creation left to rot in some forgotten corner of Hell, or even a few squabbling Hell-born jostling for some sort of social standing in their pathetic little circles. 

The sight he found before instead him was a surprising one.

“Far from home, aren’t we?” he mocked as he took measure of the lithe angel huddled against the unforgiving ground beneath their feet. He eyed him cautiously;  how long had the angel been down here and why had his presence gone unnoticed until now?

“You could have sent a missive to tell me you were visiting, old sport.” He teased, keeping a respectable distance between them for the time being. Hale may have had the upper hand at face value, this was his realm and his word and action here were law after all, but a cornered angel was still a volatile creature.

“I would have fetched the good China.”
