"I wasn't expecting you to be here and didn't want to interrupt your special moment," Thamiel said.
Azrael rolled his eyes, making no effort to hide it.
Elysia shook her head dismissively. She knew her sons were like jobless little spies for Raziel. Ever since the incident where she'd almost been killed, they had never let her go anywhere alone.
She had always known but never mentioned a thing. She was fine with it—she understood their paranoia. They didn't want their mother to vanish for another four years and suddenly have more siblings.
It sounded like a joke, but her sons had been affected by what happened, maybe more than they admitted. Even Raziel had been shaken. Still, she loved it—they were always close. It meant they still saw her as their mother.
"That's it," she said simply.
Thamiel closed his eyes and hissed. "Azrael popped up and thought it was a good idea to eavesdrop. Besides, I'm here to comply with your request," he explained.
