The door opened, a shy pink haired angel coming inside. "Lilim!" Celeste said brightly, wriggling in her mom's lap. Mizuki and Raphael both turned as the door opened, watching Lilim leave with her tail between her legs. "Lilim was my friend, she would heal me and take away the pain." Mizuki smiled a little. "She told us she wanted to rescue you," Mizu ruffled her hair. "It seems like whoever you meet either wants to hurt you or be friends with you." Celeste looked at her lap, it was far too true wasn't it? "I have to return soon, they'll be expecting me at the council meeting." Her Mother said, hugging Celeste tighter. The little angel flinched at the touch and Raphael noticed, giving her a look of concern but otherwise not making a fuss. "We should probably let Celeste rest," Mizuki finally said. "She still has to heal up." Her Mother gave her one last hug, "I'll return soon, I promise." She placed Celeste back down, laying the angel on her side since Celeste had always hated laying on her stomach.
"Don't go," Celeste whimpered, hanging onto her mom's fingers. "I'll be back and I'll bring your stubborn Father too." She promised, kissing Celeste's forehead. "What about Gabe?" Her mother smiled just a little. "Yes, I'll bring Gabriel too," with that the woman strode out, going back to her castle for the council meeting. Another zodiac was just dubbed and they had lost an important general, a funeral to honor the fallen was in order. Those poor angels who had now been moved to Obsidian. It wasn't that bad, as far as lives went, but to have to restart in a new place with your old memories? It was like angel hell. "It's great to have you back," Raphael had to go as well, he had a meeting with Cambion. He ruffled Celeste's hair, tucking Aries in extra comfortably beside her before going out the door. "I should probably go too," Mizuki sighed. "We lost a lot of good soldiers."
"If it isn't too much trouble, can you ask Lilim to come? I'd like to see her again." Mizuki smiled, "You're too nice you know that?" Celeste shook her head, "She's my friend!" Mizuki sighed. "Fine, fine. I can probably get you some painting stuff too, that way it's not too boring in here." Mizuki left then, leaving Celeste alone with no one but the doctors who were working on healing her. The leg that had been dislocated had been put back in the socket and moving around was not as agonizing. Celeste couldn't lay on her back or fully sit up, which was a nuisance. It seemed that the art supplies arrived before Lilim, which was fine since Celeste still owed the demon a painting. She traced it out in gray this time, deciding to try a different technique she had seen on some of the tapestries in Hell. Outlining things in mute colors and then going over them in bright, overstated ones. Perhaps it would remind Lilim of home? Celeste hoped so. It was probably lonely for her here, where things were so bright all the time.
Celeste had missed the sun, the way it shone on her, even through the blizzard covered windows. She was illuminated and animated like, well, an angel. "I can't wait to sleep in my own bed and to play in the gardens." She had spent enough time on the outside, Celeste was prepared to be barred within her home once more, not allowed to leave the grounds in case something like this happened again. That was fine, as long as she got to go back, as long as her wing was returned and she could fly freely. "Lavenders green dilly, dilly, lavenders blue." The angel sang sweetly as she illustrated what she had been working on before, a wide open window with an overflowing garden. "If you love my dilly, dilly I will love you." Celeste decided in that moment that she wanted to see Kitra. She wasn't sure why, but the angel was certain it was a matter of importance.
