6: Reconnect

Just as Raziel finished his dinner, there was a knock on the front door.

"I'll get that." Silvius got up from his chair, but an arm stopped him from moving.

Raziel stood in front of Silvius quickly, still doubtful of having Celeste and him in the same room.

"It's okay, I can open the door." He declared, not leaving any room for protests.

A second later, Celeste walked in with a small smile plastered on her delicate face.

Silvius watched her every move. He noticed that her eyes we're lined with gold, and irises were the colour of honey.

"Hello, Silvius." She greeted.

He nodded and acknowledged her presence, sitting back down in his chair.

"I'm sorry for last time." She said further.
"It's fine Celeste." He answered trying not to sound too rude.

"What is she doing here?" Silvius turned to look at Raziel on the other side of him.

"Remember how I said every thing was fine? Well, I don't think it is."

Silvius waited for him to continue.

"I got a letter from the dominion, asking me to be present for tomorrow's court." He explained further.

"You should go, see what it's about. It may not be what you think." Silvius replied.

"Well I don't have much choice. I'm ordered to attend, and of course, while I'm gone, you're not allowed to leave the house."

"I know, no need to worry about that. So Celeste, would you like to try some spaghetti?" Silvius offered.

"Actually, I was thinking of making us some drinks?"

"Sounds good. Bring me whatever you make. I'll be in my room." Raziel left, not waiting for them to respond.

Both Celeste and Silvius spent the next half hour mixing ingredients until they were finally satisfied, and made a mixture of lime, mint, cyanne and soda.

There were no ill feelings between the two, and greatly enjoyed each other's company.

Once the drinks was ready, Silvius went to give it to Raz.

Knocking on the door twice, Silvius decided to just enter the room, and found him fretting about the table.

"I bought you a drink." Silvius broke the silence.

Raziel truned around and his eyes softened a little. Motioning Silvius to set the liquid down he returned to whatever he was doing.

Silvius did as expected, and sat down near Raziel, looking around.

"There's no need to be so anxious, Raziel... I'm sure everything will be fine."

"I know, I- so many things can go wrong. If they know about you, then I'm probably going to be stripped off of my powers. And we would be in so much trouble." Raziel rambled.

Silvius gently took his hand to calm the other down and pressed it to his now rosy lips.

"We'll deal with it. I'm so grateful. If you hadn't saved me, I would still be in hell. Literally."

Raziel sighed, still unsure about the court.

"You'll be fine. We'll be fine. Don't stress over it. You'll find a way. I'm sure." Silvius reassured.

Getting up from where he was sitting, Silvius pecked Raziels cheek and went out of the room. Leaving Raziel bamboozled, at what just happened.
