The air on Earth felt hazy and thick the second Lairen passed through the barrier between it and Heaven. He had little experience traveling below, having gone to Earth only once before for some practical lessons. He had no missions, so he'd had no reason to go. Technically, he still should not be doing this, but as his white wings got used to the air and allowed him to fly easier, he knew he had no reason of stopping. It wasn't like humans would see him and create a ruckus after all.

No sooner did Lairen think that than a light distracted his eye. Darting his gaze down, a figure stood out on a roof top, seeming to single him out quite surely. That couldn't be a human then. Lairen was still too far away to distinguish anything about the other individual, but his instincts screamed that this must be another creature like him, perhaps even an angel. Perhaps even...Aym? Lairen didn't want to let his hope get too high, but without even hesitating or thinking this might be a trap, he altered his course toward the rooftop. It was silly to hope he might find his goal so easily, but still he hoped. He didn't care if he was stupid or naive anymore, because as he got closer, he started to feel that all his suspicions were true.

Landing on the far side of the roof from the other individual, Lairen finally let out the gasp that he'd been holding in. "Aym. It really is you..." His wings fluttered, not quite settling against his back because he felt too on edge and anxious and excited to relax like he always did. The figure in front of him didn't look real. He really found Aym? Lairen tried to take a step forward, but hesitated at the last second, instead clenching his hands in the sleeves of his robes. "I...I had to see you, to know that it was real. You've...really become a f-fallen angel...?" he managed to whisper without once raising his eyes above the limp form of Aym's wings. Never once did he meet the other angel's eyes. This wasn't true was it? This wasn't true, wasn't true, couldn't be, wasn't, but it was. Lairen dropped his eyes back to the ground. He didn't even know how to talk to Aym right now. Maybe he shouldn't have come.
