Fallen

VI

Harry rolls his shoulders again, grimacing.

"Harry seriously, groom those, they're obviously uncomfortable" Ophelia says

"They are not important, and I cannot trust any angel to help me in any case" he says and Ophelia frowns

"I can help you Harry" she offers

"No!" Harry snaps instinctively, turning red.

Ophelia puts her hands up and took a step back.

"It's okay Harry, it was only an offer" she says and Harry sits down

"I know, I apologize for reacting the way I did" he says and she nods

Just then Louis walks into the room rubbing his eyes.

"What's happening? Where am I?" He asks sleepily and Harry smiles

"We are somewhere safe, how did you sleep?" He asks and Louis looks to Ophelia

"Good, but who is this?" He asks and she laughs

"I'm Ophelia, it's sort of my job to deal with this kind of thing"

She extends a hand and Louis walks forwards to shake it,

"Louis, and This kind of thing?" He asks and she laughs

"Demons, ghosts, werewolves, that kinda stuff and I have Harry here for Angel knowledge" she says and Louis gapes

"Your kidding me" Louis says and she laughs, shaking her head

"Not kidding you, it's true shouldn't feathers here be proof enough?" She says, pointing at Harry with a jab of her thumb and Louis laughs

"Yeah I suppose so. I'm guessing... Um feathers filled you in?" Louis says chuckling.

"Yeah, he did. Your in a pretty tight situation. Seems like some high up feathery bastard wants you out of play" she says and Louis laughs

"Yeah, I'm still struggling to comprehend this. Not trying to be rude, but Mind telling me where the bathroom is?" He asks and she nods,

"Down the hall, take a left, then a right. It's the fifth door on the right."

He nods, thanking her then walks out of the kitchen.

"That's Louis?" She asks Harry wide eyed and Harry nods a slight blush taking her his face as he plays with his hands

"That's the Louis?" She says and Harry nods

"Well shit" she says "how are you holding up?"

"I'm alright, but i will admit it is rather strange to be in such close proximity. For years I have dreamed up so many scenarios of what I would do, but my vessel won't listen" Harry says and Ophelia smiles

"Oh sunshine, Your just afraid. It's not your vessel, the man who owned that body died a long time ago, don't you remember? You're afraid of the outcome if you tell him how you feel"

"I believe you may be right."  He sighs rubbing his face

"Also I do not understand your calling me sunshine, I represent a god of night not of the sun" he says, a confused look on his face, eyebrows furrowed. Ophelia laughs

"it's just a pet name" she explains. Harry's confusion grows

"But I am not a pet?"

"It's like a nickname" she says, a wide grin on her face

"Oh I understand" Harry says

That's when Louis comes back, stretching and looking to Harry.

"Any chance of some coffee? Breakfast?" He asks and Harry nods.
