"Has anyone ever mentioned how alike Lucifer you really are?"
It's not the time for jokes, but she can't help it. It's such a similar condition to the ones he gave her, the comment slips out before she thinks about it. She doesn't exactly want to provoke a fight without cause though, there's plenty of time for that she's sure. Best not push it when he seems to be somewhat reasonable.
"I'll take full responsibility. I'll keep me and mine safe, and I'll keep them out of your business, so long as you keep out of theirs." She's got no leg to stand on in terms of threats, she's more than aware of that, but she at least has Gabriel somewhat on her side. Maybe she can use that as leverage. She doesn't exactly trust that the bond they've solidified since being here will cross as far as standing with her against the other archangels but, well. A girl can dream, right?
"I will be teaching them how to protect themselves from the forces of our world, Raphael. You should know that. I won't leave them defenceless. I won't tell them any more than they need to know - most don't even know what I am, but I won't leave them in the dark when it could get them killed. More and more people are being pulled from our world every week. I can't know that the next one isn't going to be people less willing to negotiate peace."
