"We're very new!" Levi said to the girls, setting the cat down before looking at the house.
"What do you mean little one?" He turned to Marduk. "Have you seen that place before?"
"No." The taller brother answered.
Antoine mewls again, nudging the brothers with his head towards the house. He looks up at the smaller and meows again.
"Sure." Levi calls, almost walking into the street before being grabbed by Marduk.
"Over there." He said, pointing to a crosswalk where others were walking.
"I know, I was just kidding!" Levi lied, picking the cat up again.
“Oh, well, welcome to our city then!” She smiled again. “My names Libra, I’m always around, if you ever need help with anything I probably won’t be that hard to find.” She introduced herself.
"Okay." Levi smiled, as they walked.
Antoine nuzzles into the boys warmth. He was so cold. He looks around then up, meowing happily as he purrs a little.
"Are you cold?" He asks, unzipping his hoodie and putting the cat inside, before closing it, and supporting the cat's weight. They reach the house.
Once they reach the house Antoine easily nudges the door open. Despite the outward appearance it was very nice, clean and well kept. Antoine mewls, settling on the couch.
"We have a place like this!" Levi exclaims excitedly. Marduk stands in the doorway.
The smaller twin scratches the cat's head.
Antoine purrs softly at the attention. He mewls and trots towards the kitchen where warm dinner was waiting. He flicks his tail expectantly.
"It's fine." Levi said, glancing at the cat. They were angels after all, and even if fallen they didn't really need to eat unless they wanted to, not until their ties to Heaven were truly cut.
Antoine mewls again then trots to the boys, nudging Levi further into the house.
Levi follows eagerly, as Marduk meanders along behind him. Levi falls into stride with the cat.
He pauses at one of the doors and nudges it open. A bedroom with two beds, a closet, some extra clothing in various sizes, blankets, pillows and basic needs.
"Thank you cat!" Levi shouts. He bends down, scratching the cat on the head. He pumps some of his grace into the cat casually as he does so, which would no-doubt give the cat some level of semi-immortality, and maybe even enhance it's physical attributes beyond that of normal house felines. His fingers casting a pure yet pale light.
"Levi. Something isn't right with this cat." Marduk replied.
"What do you mean?"
"It's far too intelligent to be a common animal."
"You think so?" Levi asked, intrigued.
Antoine tilts his head then walks towards the end of the room. and hopping onto the dresser, glaring at the boys. "Probably because I am not a normal house cat." He says casually, flicking his tail.
Levi looks at Marduk.
"Did you read his mind?" He asks.
"I didn't need to." Marduk replied.
Levi looks back at the cat.
Antoine lays on his back, sighing softly. "Well then… I would show you my true form, but that would probably send you off on your own." He hums and looks at the small angels. "I can offer you food, shelter and protection, but one of you has to make a deal with me." He purrs.
"No problem." Levi assures. "I'll offer you my grace."
"Are you sure about that, brother?" Marduk asked. "Your grace is already fading."
"Yes." Levi said.
Antoine leaps down, shifting into his human form. He offers his hand, "You have no reason to offer me grace, angel." he replies, "Just take my hand and swear your alliance, and the deal will be set."
A tall man with black hair stood before the angels now.
"I know I don't." Levi replied. "But I will." With that, he took the hand of the man.
is this closed?//
There is a slight burning sensation in Levi's hand and Antoine pulls away, showing his hand where a symbol of a six sided star rested. The same for Levi. "If you ever need me, you need only to ask." He bows a little. "You give me an order, I follow that order." He says simply. "I am with you until your death, whether it be early or late." He says simply.
"You'd better hope you're immortal, because the death of an angel has never been recorded." Levi beamed.
mat i join?//
Sure. But you're the last one.
thanks!//
He chuckles, "My life force is bound to my master." He replies, smiling softly. He looks towards them, "My name is Antoine. I'm a familiar that guards my master, carries out basic tasks, and provide shelter for those with gifts much like mine.
"Neat!" Levi says, throwing his empty drink away. Marduk walks off.
Antoine nods, "Your name, master?" He asks quietly.
