Denny's

[thesearesocks]

It's late. Like, 3 AM late. You're hungry as fuck, but nothing is open.





Except Denny's.

RULES

1. Post to the meme.
2. Find somebody to eat with. Figure out why the hell you'd do this to yourself.
3. I don't think they have the Hobbit menu anymore, fuck. Maybe you should ask the waiter or something.

[ First the mug, then the stranger; Helios takes his time looking at one and the other, lips caught somewhere between neutral and smiling. There are no bandages, no cuts, no dark spots or swollen redness, but he still seems like he's reached the part where exhaustion gives room for each muscle to relax. Like nothing could convince him to give up this seat. ]

What makes you think that?

[ Dry humor. He picks it up and drinks. ]

[fooledfirst]

Because if the trail of blood and dirt you left behind? You seem fine though. Saves me from having to heal you I suppose.

[nixed]

[ He glances at the trail. Ah, right. Oops. ]

Great news for me. [ A gesture with the drink; cheers. Back on the table it rests. ] I can't afford a doctor.

[ He could, actually. Just one of the many harmless lies he's got in his pocket. ]

You go around looking for people to stitch up?

[fooledfirst]

I would do it for free. [He takes a sip of the coffee. He couldn't actually taste anything. But it kept up the facade.]

But no, I don't. [He usually kept an ear out for prayers though.] I was just feeling generous tonight.

[nixed]

Where were you two hours ago?

[ When Helios was fighting off a monster after a failed attempt to keep it out of his brother's radar? God, the timing of these people. ]

I'm kidding. Anything else you feeling generous about?

[ Free things are welcome at all hours. ]

[fooledfirst]

Unless you were praying, I wouldn't know.

But you seem to have recovered well on your own. Accelerated healing?

[nixed]

[ A grin escapes from his lips, question hitting like an old (and long) story. ]

Something like that. Guess you could say someone felt generous before you did.

[ And if there's such a thing as weaponized generosity, all credit goes to Kaena. That thought calls for another swig of coffee. ]

Didn't have to pray for that one, either. You got experience with the whole business?

[fooledfirst]

I recover quickly as well from injuries.

[He gives the guy a long look.]

I'm not sure what you mean by "business" so I can hardly say whether I'm experienced or not with that.

[nixed]

[ He watches with a half-smile; scrutinizing him, maybe, or waiting to see if there's a bluff to break. The figurative eight ball comes back with ask again later.]

Witchcraft? No, my source of power is more... Divine. I'm Gadreel, an Angel of the Lord.
