Who: Corinth and Zepar
What: Girl-talk?
Where: The coffeeshop where Zepar works
Warnings: Angst~

Corinth had healed up from the Auphe fight, but since seeing Asmodeus and Phoebe talking, he had been driving himself crazy. The evening he'd spent with Cal was the calmest he'd been, but he couldn't just cling to the other man, for several reasons. Leading Asmodeus to Cal was a real fear for Corinth, and to a lesser extent, he didn't want to get on the other man's nerves by spazzing out in his living room all week.

Reluctant to bother his Superior with these matters, Corinth had kept up with his work. When he wasn't working at the hospital, he was ferrying souls for Azrael. When he wasn't doing that, he was worrying all night. Angels didn't need to sleep, but it was nice. Presently, Corinth was working the heroin chic look, a dark hoodie pulled low over his head.

He'd deliberately picked a time Cal didn't work to come to the coffee shop.

Zepar shook his head then, "I'll leave him to tell you about it then. Apparently he's been doing this bouncing to other dimensions thing for a few years now." Which wasn't really the same as leaving Cal to tell it, he knew, "But he can't do it now that he's here, always ends up back here."

He shook his head, scratching at his temple for a moment, "I don't really understand how it works, to be honest, haven't asked."

Corinth nodded a bit, brows furrowed. "I can sympathize. Sort of stuck myself." He didn't know much about the Grigori, but he knew they were outcast, and he knew better than to complain to an outcast about not being able to get into Heaven. Corinth's hope was that he would only be stuck in this body a while longer. Zepar's banishment was permanent.

Corinth finished his coffee. and sighed. Why did he care so much about Cal?

Personally Zepar had come to grips with his exile a long, long time since, right about the time he'd been freed to roam the world again.

There was a small smile at the sigh, shaking his head, leaning comfortably against the counter again, "You've got it bad." A slight shrug, "I can tell, I'm the one who presides over women falling in love with men. But I can usually tell the other way too, even if it's not strictly my domain."

	Corinth ran a hand through his hair, a sheepish grin on his face. "Yeah, you're not wrong. You'd think I'd know better by now." "And you're not as far out of your domain as you think," he said with a dry laugh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He snorted at the first, shaking his head, "Time doesn't make that kind of thing any clearer, believe me." The second statement got an arched brow, "Oh really? Spill." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Corinth chuckled, shaking his head. He didn't want to go into the details of just how badly things had gone the last time. Kind of a downer, that.

He smirked. That was probably something he should share with Cal first. Of course, that would require actually talking. "Lilim. Daughters of Lilith." He shrugged, gesturing at himself. "This old thing? Not my favorite vessel."

	"Ah-ha. That explains a few things." He shrugged then, explaining before he could be asked: "The whole making-women-fall-in-love-with-men thing is sort of an extra sense, gender isn't important, mentality is. Drag queens and transvestites are some of my favorite people for just that reason." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Makes sense," Corinth said with a shrug. "You know, I was hoping you'd say Cal preferred girls. Would've been an easy fix." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hurtyourealgood 2011-05-10 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	He scratched the back of his neck, "I'm not even sure, I mean, usually I am, but it's hard to say with Cal." He shrugged then, "I don't know if he even knows." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-05-10 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Mm." He leaned against the counter, thinking. He shrugged, then, smiling. "Guess I'll have to be patient." Or give up. If only it were that easy. "I have time." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Patience is a virtue, virtue is a grace, Grace is a little girl who doesn't wash her face." He sing-songed, laughing softly and giving a shrug, "But it's worth sticking with, sometimes. I wouldn't know, because I'm pretty impatient myself, big fan of instant gratification." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-05-11 01:37 am UTC (link)
	"Grace is a little girl who doesn't wash her face," Corinth joined in with the last line, laughing. "Never thought I'd be on the receiving end of that one." He nodded. "Patience isn't something I'm great at. Not sure this can be forced, though." He shrugged. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He laughed, "Well that's something you have in common. Good place to start, don't you think?" A shrug, "Isn't that what relationships are supposed to be based on? What you can argue about and what you won't argue about?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-05-11 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Corinth smirked. "My guess is the first argument will be if there's anything there to call a relationship." He liked Zepar. He was good people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"My money's on whoever sides with 'no', and not because I don't think you two would work together, because you might, but because I think titling things is one of those things Cal shies away from." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burnishmebright 2011-05-11 03:33 am UTC (link)
	"Mm. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." He wasn't really bothered so much by labels or the lack thereof. Sure, it would be nice just to know he wasn't imagining things, but he could do without. "You have someone waiting for you at home, Zep?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hurtyourealgood 2011-05-11 03:42 am UTC (link)
	"Nah." He said, giving another shrug, "Haven't for a while. I'm pretty good at making my own fun, or finding it, as the case may be." It was mostly true, he only rarely went lonely if he didn't want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Corinth shrugged. "Fair enough. Being a free agent has its perks." Corinth wouldn't describe himself as lonely, really. More obsessed.

"I should probably get going." He didn't want to stay in one place for too long. Over the course of their conversation, he'd warmed up and become more animated. He didn't look pale and sickly anymore. He smiled. "Tell Cal I stopped by? Probably won't be around for a while." He laid a couple bills on the counter, enough to cover the drink and tip. "Good talking to you."

	He nodded, ringing up the drink and dropping the change into the tip jar on the counter, "I'll let him know." His brow arched then, just a little, "Don't stay gone too long, he'll go looking." He shrugged then, adding, "Just a hunch." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Corinth quirked a brow, a crooked smile growing over his face. "Huh," he remarked. Anything else would make him sound even more like the lovesick fool he was. "Thanks," he said, heading for the door. (Reply to this) (Parent)
