Dominic had sent Eli's scroll off to some Cherubs to track him, not
expecting much but ready to try anything. Someone was waiting in the
confessional this time; good. He'd had enough of a confession from some
Archangel flitting about the Earth.
He entered his chamber and slid back the panel. Music flowed over him from
the other room - song, specifically. Numerous voices raised in song. He
looked over.
The Grigori Archangel of Song looked back, smiled, and waved a petite hand
at him.
Dominic roused, and she held up a hand to halt him. "Protection of the
Confessional, Dominic."
One hundred and eleven eyes blinked one by one. Then he sat back. "I am
aware of the requirements, Archangel. What have you to confess?"
"Well, since we haven't met for a while, let's begin shortly after my
Outcasting. I was..."
"That was thousands of years ago!"
"Do you want to hear my confession or not?"
Dominic searched for an out, then Decided that however long it took the
Archangel of Song to make her confession by due ritual, it would be as an
eyeblink to the rest of Heaven. "Proceed."
"Well, I was still madly in love with this hunter from the Eurasian
steppes. I din't exactly want to stop seeing him, but..." Dominic settled
in. "...and so he wanted to Redeem, right, but here I am Outcast, I can't
do as much for him as somebody else..." Dominic waited. "...so I hear
about Gabriel, but it's not like I'd be much help. I try contacting
her..." Dominic was gaining tons of useful information, but while angels,
certainly Archangels, never fall asleep in Heaven, he was actually getting
incredibly - well - bored. She had such a well-modulated voice, it was
really quite soothing listening to her. "...and so that brings us up to
the present day. I heard about your Confessional from one of my angels,
who heard it from Eli, and here I am!" Pause. "Dominic?"
*snrt* Mmph. "I am here. Is your litany quite over?"
"Yes. By the way, I have a number of Servitors with similar stories who'd
like to do the same. After you recommend an absolution, can I make some
appointments for them?"
She rightly sensed the building tension in the other chamber, so the Song
quickly crescendoed and she blinked out.
