a tisket, a tasket, an angel with a basket?

Who: Balthazar, Mina and open!
Where: the library and the outskirts of town
When: Day 109, around nightfall
Summary: Balthazar's promised to try and teach Mina about angelic healing powers, because that can't possibly go wrong. He can also be found inspecting various edible weeds growing around the town and forest eaves.


On the one hand, Balthazar is as content in Kore as he has been in thousands of years. No wars, no bewildering orders from on high, no siblings murdering one another, and on top of that he has both mortal friends and archangels being relatively sociable. If it weren't for the looming fear of things taking a turn for the lethal, he'd be downright ecstatic to be here.

But the food situation is worrisome, and the monster situation is worse. He finds himself racking his brain to think of ways to keep the status as quo as possible. It's not his job, of course. He never signed on to play shepherd to a motley crew of humans and others, and most of them probably wouldn't thank him for worrying about them anyway. Maybe if there was enough alcohol available to actually keep him drunk, he wouldn't bother. Maybe he's trying to keep himself from fretting over how quickly and easily the people he cares about can be taken away.

Times like this, he misses Anna.

And so, he finds himself, circling the outskirts of the town and plucking what plants he can find out of the shadows of buildings as the sun sets behind him.

When it's finally fully dark, he crosses back over to the library, leaving his basket just outside the door. If anyone helps themselves to the plants, that's fine with him. He's not going to eat them, anyway.

He doesn't bother with a light once inside, sitting on a desk to wait for Mina. He can see well enough in the blackness, and presumably so can she.

Her lips twisted slightly at the mention of Raphael. He had been somewhat...uncooperative. Not outright offensive or rejecting of the notion. But stubborn about it.

Her sea-storm eyes raised with interest a little at the mention of a sorceress however. "No," she said. "I don't believe I've had the pleasure."

To some, it would seem old-fashioned. But Mina was still well behind the times. As much as she was ahead of her own time. Apparently. It was all rather confusing and she had far more pressing matters to set her mind to than that.

She dipped her head courteously. "Yes, I do think so."

"It's not every day you hear a man say that," she quipped, with the faintest ghost of a smile.

Really, it was sort of funny, how she'd gone from loathing the man passionately to almost...well...not almost...begrudgingly respecting him. But that was just a further testimony to the mercurial state of things in Kore, she supposed.

Everything was the Doctor. Wildly unpredictable.

Mina shook his hand. A good, firm handshake.

She did so enjoy being a gentleman, after all.

"I rather hope so as well," she replied. "After all. People do seem to have a tendency to get hurt around here. I don't imagine that'll be getting any better any time soon."
