'I won't give you my real name, but you may call me Loras if you'd like..'

I frown. Loras? Why won't you give me your real name?

'Because if you know my name, you'll find out things that you probably don't want to...'

What does that mean?

'It doesn't matter. What should I call you? Don't give me your real name, and don't ask why.'

I narrow my eyes. First you apologize for being a dick, then you continue being a dick.

'I won't apologize for keeping myself safe.'

Ugh. Fine. Call me Grace.

'Your middle name would be Grace. Typical.' I hear him laughing hysterically and roll my eyes, but I can't help the smile that comes across my face.

How'd you know it was my middle name?

'Well, you assumed Loras was my middle name, and rolled with it, giving me your middle name in return. It's a human thing.'

Okay, smarty pants. Speaking of human, what race are you?

He pauses. 'Angel, pureblood. You?'

I smile in relief, it's always been my dream to keep my family bloodline pure. Me too.

I expect him to ask wing colour, but he doesn't. 'You have a beautiful voice...'

My face heats up, and I cover my face in my hands, giggling like a girl fangirling over a celebrity for the first time. After about 45 seconds, I've composed myself.

You're supposed to ask a question.

'Fine. Are you as beautiful as you seem?'

I roll my eyes. Are you as rude as you act?

'Hell yea.'

I cringe at the word.

'I knew it.'

Knew what?

'You're pure. Don't cuss, don't swear, don't use his name in vain. Nothing.'

I blush at how easily he read me. And? That's a bad thing?

He doesn't respond for a moment. 'For you, yes, he says quietly. 'I'm not exactly.... pure.'

Not everyone is.

'Grace, I'm the furthest from pure you'll ever meet.'

I hold back the gasp threatening to escape my lips. Black wings.... could it be Asher?
