"The foremost wizard in the Hells, Mephistopheles suffers nothing that would compromise his intellectual focus. He hates distractions and allows only particular devils to speak to him without first being spoken to. He has been known to disintegrate minions for the smallest transgressions, and sometimes carries out an execution simply because he suspected that a devil was about to do something to annoy him." - Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

there is absolutely no way on this plane or any other that raphael counts among the devils that is allowed to speak without being spoken to <3
