*She sighed and massaged her temples. She'd forgotten how frustrating Herbert could be, as much as she loved him.*
"Yes, he's pretty. Ridiculously pretty. Think der Tod but brunette with freaky purple eyes."

Imagine a siren going off. A siren in heat. Combine that sound with the collective scream of a thousand little girls at the sight of Zac Efron. Multiply that by the feeling of your eardrums being pierced by a red-hot iron.
That does not begin to describe the noise emitted by Herbert at that moment.

*Renn clamped her hands over her ears. When that didn't help, she punched him in the arm again as hard as she possibly could.*
"For the love of fuck!" *she yelled.* "What that absolutely necessary?!"

"Sorry. Yes, he sounds attractive." Herbert said sheepishly.

*She inhaled, closed her eyes, counted to ten, and exhaled slowly.*
"Humans have sensitive eardrums, Herbert. Can you please remember that, next time? And yes. Very attractive. Which kind of started this whole mess."

"Poor dear."

"Why thank you."
*She paused, eyeing him suspiciously.*
"What do you plan to do with this knowlege?"

**IN SOMETHING PREVIOUS TO HERBERT, EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE IT"S AT THE SAME TIME** *She sighed and rolled her eyes. Why no one ever gave her any f*cking details, she had no idea, but it did nothing to improve her mood.* "Lovely. No other details? Can you find anything out? Can you talk to him?" *She sounded overeager, but she couldn't help it. She missed him so much...* "I'm sorry, love, but that's all I know. I could try to ask, but I'm pretty sure I know what they'd tell me. I could bring a message for him back with me if you want."

**OW, MY BRAIN!**
"Right. Gotcha."
*She gave a disappointed sigh, and leaned back against the wall. What to say? She couldn't tell him about the vampire- she could handle him herself, preferably before der Tod returned. And she didn't want to say something stupid and cliche. It would be cheap. And no message would be the worst of all.*
"I'm counting the days," *she said quietly.* "And the hours. And the minutes. Tell him that."
*She bristled.*
"And I'd give you something to tell the so called 'Powers That Be,' but I'm not in the mood to get smited today, so I'll keep my mouth shut."

*Raziel grinned at her*
"Oh, I could tell them what I think of them, which I'm sure would be what you're thinking, or along the same lines. They won't smite me. There's an ingenious plan for me, apparently."
*His expression became serious once more*
"And I'll definitely pass along your message for der Tod."

"Thank you. And, Hm. In that case, let them know for me that they're a bunch of unfair, overly harsh, unsympathetic bastards. If you could smack the one that decided on the punishment, that'd be awesome too."
*She paused.*
"Do you know what that consists of?" *she asked, almost fearfully.*

"I will pass along your insults, I promise."
*He meet her gaze squarely when he answered her question*
"Again, they are vague, but from what I understand it is both a physical and metaphysical punishment. I hate to say this, but...he'll probably have injuries that need tending to when he's brought back."

*She bit her lower lip and looked at the wall, but nodded. She wouldn't let him see her cry. The problem was, with all the stresses that had been piling up the past several days and trying to keep it in, this was almost too much. She swallowed.*
"Ah. Right."
*She pretended rub her eye, as if tired.*

*Raziel wasn't fooled by the little gesture--he'd seen that many times before. A lot of them, of late, here in this bizarro-Paris. He gently placed a hand on Renn's arm*
"It's not good to hold it back, love."

*She crossed her arms and let out a shuddering breath.*
"I'm okay, really. Just... *The urge to burst into tears was almost overwhelming. She tried to prevent it, but tears were evident in her voice.* "There's a lot of shit going on, you know? And that's just one more thing- I shouldn't have asked."
*By now, she both looked and sounded terribly pathetic.*
