confessing their apostasies {uriel}

Anxiety was evident in the rapid beating of Shri's wings. This wasn't going to be good, was it? “I… I am not sure that I can say, brother.” The bird said softly, tentatively. “I do not wish for you, or any of our siblings to be sore with her.” Excuses fell like candy from her beak, drawing the wary attention of the titan. "Shri, you know I will never hurt her." He promised quietly. Waited for her to speak. The dove knew that he was trustworthy, far from the sanctimony of Michael or the cold calculations of Raphael. “We ran into the fallen…” She said. Ah, there it was. The inevitable. “I was not present while they spoke… but I found Uriel later in tears…” Auds would swivel, and snout would snap to focus his blank gaze on the general direction of the bird. “He had not harmed her. She is fine… physically at least.” She attempted to reassure him. Now his alabaster ears tipped back, lips peeling back for a flash of anger.

He sighed, knowing there was no way to ignore what had occurred here. "I hear you ran into Lucifer, and that you were quite upset afterwards." He said, vocals soft. Hopefully she wouldn't shut down or deny him. The herald was only seeking to help his little sister through this, as it was a quite emotional encounter. He remembered his own first encounter with their Fallen brother. "Did he say something that upset you?"
