Who: Mephisto, Mary, Ariel and Ikuko
What: Some really weird sort of family get-together.
Where: Mary's apartment
When: Tuesday
Warnings: Sweary demon, antiquated sweary angel, over-exuberant nephilim, overtly friendly virgin mother. So basically no.

Mephisto had been told about Ariel's issues regarding the relationship between himself and Mary, and while he really couldn't care less about what Ariel thought of himself or his relations with the reborn mother of Jesus, he was still somewhat looking forward to meeting him again. They both, for what it was worth, hadn't seen each other since large changes of status on both sides had occurred. He had been fumbling rather gracefully in the kitchen, helping Mary prepare ice cream and cookies in preparation for the arrival of the newly-born angel and his lover, and once Mary shooed him out of the kitchen for being more of a nuisance than a help, he went to go make himself more useful for his own purposes. He had been working on trying to implement a new way of at least letting his eyes seem more natural in look, without the use of sunglasses, which had become a useful tool in masking it, while not completely disguising his clearly unnatural pure-white eyes.

It was Ikuko who hopped up the stairs to the apartment first, excited to meet Mary and see Mephisto as he'd become. She had no predisposed opinions of Mephisto other than what she'd made for herself when Mephisto and Raziel were still in the singular, so she wasn't really in any sort of wary state or even remotely worried. She'd already scolded Ariel for worrying too much, in fact, telling him that until given a clear REASON for worrying, that he oughtn't. "Thanks for bringing me with, Ari," she stated brightly, "it's really nice of you to let me meet this Mary you've told me so much about!"

Ariel had argued briefly with Iku about being careful, but had given up due to her irritating-yet-admirable insistence on being neutral. He was ready; that was all that mattered. "I owe my life to Mary," he said, smiling faintly. "She's a joy." It was why this mattered, obviously. He didn't anticipate any fireworks; Mephisto wasn't so stupid as to pick a fight with innocents present, let alone the Virgin, who he seemed to care for. Nonetheless, old habits died hard.

He knocked at the door, trying to appear calm and neutral while aware that he wasn't entirely succeeding. He wrapped his other arm around Iku's middle, more to reassure himself than anything else.

	Mary shot Ariel a brief Look before sighing and looking back at Mephisto. "If you'd like, I can turn on the ceiling fan." Instead of arguing with Ariel or preemptively scolding Mephisto, she took Ikuko by the hand and led her toward the kitchen. "We'll let the boys argue with each other for a minute. Would you like a drink? I have lemonade!" (Reply to this)

	"Probably it would help them a bit, but I doubt they ever will. They're the most polite arch-nemeses ever. Would you like a bit of lunch, or are you like me and just have sweets whenever you want?" She chuckled and moved to pull out a plate of matcha whoopie pies from the fridge. "Boys, come have a snack?" She was hoping that would diffuse the tension a smidge. (Reply to this)

	Perhaps he ought to have explained Mary's role better. He heard Iku's question as he followed the demon into the kitchen, having resisted the urge to make a face and disinfect his jacket. Ariel smiled, answering Iku. "I told Mary no such thing; she's simply a supreme hostess." He said, inclining his head to Mary herself. (Reply to this)
