The Infernal Serpent

Azazael listens and maybe it is good, or potentially bad, that he doesn't know how to hold his tongue. "Don't you know why the angels think that?"

He can sense that the other angel is having a hard time with the situation but he's not sure what to do. If this were some other angel he might hug them but he was as uncertain about the dynamic as Balthazar was about the situation as a whole.

"I can teach you if you want." He shrugged more at the concept that Lucifer might not want him to, but Azazael had a rebellious streak a mile wide, despite his innocence. "You might not like the role but you've got a lot of say and others will listen."

That was serious. Though his words wouldn't hold the weight of Lucifer or Belial, maybe, he had a lot of power he just didn't recognize yet. Azazael knew it, that is why he had kneeled instead of bowing.

Azazael leans on the other side of the counter, watching the angel at the stove and sighs heavily. "I don't think anyone had to piss in his cornflakes. He's always been a jerk. Moloch is an archangel. I think he was created around the same time as Belial, but he's more like Lucifer, kind of. He's arrogant, proud, angry, even in Heaven he wasn't nice. He was cast out during the rebellion but he didn't help Lucifer. He actually turned on Lucifer, or pretended to, and then when they were handing out judgement for the Fallen he used his chumminess with the seraphim to try to kill God."

Azazael was rambling and paused for a second. "He thinks he's strong as Lucifer, as God. He's always trying to take the crown thinking that station is what made Lucifer strong enough to challenge God. Lucifer and Moloch are always at each other's throats, but it's getting really bad right now."
