The Infernal Serpent

In spite of his childishness and innocent, or perhaps because it liberated him from bias, Azazael saw something in this angel that others might not... an end to pain. Belial would have stayed at Lucifer's side through the pain but when he was truly incapacitated by loss it fell on Belial to manage the kingdom. Azazael was the one who often weathered the king through the heart wrenching of losing someone he loved. Though he didn't know for sure, the allure of love without that pain had to be in play. An immortal would at least break the cycle that crashed the king every couple human life times into the darkest despair.

"He did choose you to watch over him while he's vulnerable." Azazael let the gravity of that concept sit without additional explanation.

He understood the idea of wanting to meet the family first. Azazael shook his head smiling. "Amartolósa might come to you first. She knows because of what she is, she knows you're his lover and probably a lot of how he feels. Thnisko isn't as forthcoming. He used to be like his sister until he was tortured by the seraphim, but he's at the door when I'm not if you ever want to meet him."
