Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was his first chance to step out from the place he'd been staying since he'd left the Labs and he couldn't help but look around the area in utter and rapt facination. The world... it was so beautiful, it always had been but he felt as though he were looking at it through a fresh perspective. After having spent so much time at the Labs he had seemed to lose himself, growing used to his life there. With what had happened... having Fallen, he felt free. He no longer hard to adhere to his nature and was now free to care for himself in a way that he never had before.

Hyacinth looked different in that he no longer had wings, in their place was an elaborate tattoo on his back where they had been sealed. He didn't need them, they didn't help him in anyway since one of them was mostly gone due to the attack by the Gluttony demon a while back. It was a freeing feeling and he felt like he no longer stood out like a sore thumb though his hair was still a bright orange. Among those in Gaia though brightly colored hair meant nothing and he was able to blend in fairly well. The Fallen looked to his companion before giving him a smile, "Thank you for taking me along, Addy."

The tall man lifted a hand to adjust his glasses before smiling, "Its nice to have company while out and about, especially by one of God's Children. You honor me." He said, looking over at the red head next to him.

He turned to look at man next to him for a long moment then shook his head, "I am no longer one of those, Priest." He said, giving a little shrug of a shoulder, "Regardless I am happy to be here, to get to see this world in such a manner once more. After so long of just seeing things through windows and from there it was only the yard which was surrounded by a tall fence. This is a... freeing feeling, to be able to walk around in such a way. I must thank you and Raael though I don't think I could do so nearly enough."

Addy couldn't help but laugh, "You are a sweet thing, aren't you? No reason to worry or to try so hard. Just your presence is nice. Fallen or not your still what you are and who you are." He said, then motioned to the tall building a distance away from them, the place they were heading to currently was the underground archives of that building in search of information that was rumored to be there. Addy knew better what they were looking for then Hyacinth did. The Fallen Angel was only along to stretch his legs and get to enjoying life again now that his nightmare that was living in the Labs was over.

It was as Hyacinth was passing by that he noticed him, it wasn't so much the look but instead the feeling. He gave a soft, gasping sound and nearly tripped over his own feet as he turned to look in Cody's direction. He couldn't help but to stare, eyes wide. This was one thing he'd never expected, to run across 'one of them' out here even though he knew they were free to roam in any manner they would like, unlike their parents. His steps slowed before coming to a halt and he turned slowly to stare at the boy that was standing there in front of the store, "Oh... my..." He murmured to himself.

Addy seemed to miss it at first that he'd lost his companion, getting several steps ahead of the Fallen before he too paused, turning to look at him, "Hyacinth?" He murmured, turning to look at him. The angel seemed to be quite startled from the look on his face and it took the priest only a moment to see the cause of it, "Well, now... this is quite unexpected." He murmured. One of those children, born from the work of the place that the Patience Angel had been taken captive by. He walked forward, hand reaching out to rest on the redhead's shoulder, "Come on now, we have a mission..."

"Ahh... yes, just a moment Addy, please. I have never met this one before." He murmured, moving slowly forward toward Cody.

Addy gave a little sigh, checking his watch before shrugging. Ah well, he supposed they could stop for a few moments since they were going to be away from home for who knew how long doing research. This seemed important to this boy after all so he wouldn't interfere for now.

Hyacinth gave a soft smile as he moved to close the distance between himself and Cody, no reason to stand so far off when the boy didn't seem at all dangerous, "Perhaps because we are, in a way, related." He suggested, looking the boy over closely before nodding, "And if I had to guess I would say you share Drake's blood as well." Being close friends with Almas had its perks, being able to read over what charts his friend had carried around with him helped the Patience angel to get a feel for everyone that lived at the Labs, even those an angel would normally not wish to meet with.

"You are the first I have ever met outside of the Labs before, this is quite an amazing stroke of luck." He said, sounding quite happy over this fortuitous meeting. He'd never even begun to consider the possibility of seeing those created from his blood again. It seemed to make his day even better then it already was from just being able to go out on a walk in the sun, "Ahh... I am sorry, I am being rude... my name is Hyacinth." He told Cody, resting a hand against his own chest as he introduced himself.

Hyacinth's eyes widened ever so slightly before he gave a small shake of his head, "Ahh... no, I have erm..." He trailed off thinking on the right way to explain to the child why he was here walking around on the street when none of the others were allowed to do so.

"Hyacinth has since retired from the position of Angel of Patience." Addy said, smoothly filling in the silence left by the the angel who seemed to be fumbling with the right words, "He has since taken on another calling."

Hyacinth gave him a glance before smiling and nodding, "Yes, retired. It seemed I was no longer right for the job." He explained, "My wings are sealed away with magic by the tattoo on my back, it makes it easier for me to move around through crowds and find clothing. He knelt down so he was closer to the young man's level before he used one hand to tug his shirt down a little bit in the back so Cody would be able to see the scrawling tattoo.

"I wasn't able to fly as it was so this was done to make things easier for me." He murmured before looking at he feathers that Cody was touching and smile, "Your feathers are very cute." He murmured, finding it interesting the way that his features popped up in such a variety of ways on the children that were created using his blood.

Hyacinth gave a soft sound as he thought on it for a moment, "As I said, I could not fly anymore. When I was first brought to that place I lost most of one wing to a demon." He murmured, "It was before things were in order, before the demons were all kept in cages aside from Enki."

Lowering his hands to rest on his lap he gave Cody a hopeful sort of smile, "I understand that... it might be hard for you to understand now since your young but I am still myself despite my retirement, only I am not bound by certain restrictions any longer." To no longer have the same infinite patience and ability to shrug off anything was actually... nice.

"Please, do not worry overly on it."

Hyacinth gave a little tremble as the boy seemed to be getting distraught by what had happened to Hyacinth and perhaps his own fears. He lowered his gaze, "I am sorry, I never wanted to upset you." He murmured before he lifted his eyes again, reaching out to stroke Cody's hair soothingly, "I was... weak, to weak to maintain what I was born as. It doesn't mean that you should fret, perhaps you will be able to better handle yourself."

"The restrictions..." He seemed to once more be debating over how to answer, not wanting for the boy to know the whole of it, "Ahh, it was like a release of emotions, to be allowed to feel everything in a manner much like the humans are able to do. Before I was unable to become angry and there was no way for me to keep from forgiving those around me, no matter what they might do to me or to others." It wasn't until after his fall that he really understood how tied up he really was by his birthright.

Hyacinth seemed to wilt at the boys words and he nodded, "You are... right." He murmured, lowering his hands and he found himself starring at them. They looked like normal hands but he could almost feel how stained they were with blood, that of the man at the Labs, of the Gluttony demon, and of... of Shar, who it pained him to see die but he would try to remedy that one day.

Addy stepped forward, resting a hand on Cody's shoulder and one on that of Hyacinth, "You must ease your angerl, young one. I know it must be hard for you to understand but think also of dear Hyacinth, Falling isn't easy on an angel nor is it in any means painless." The priest said, his voice steady as he spoke, "Let us not allow anger to best us, instead let us talk as gentlemen, yes? No matter our roots I would like to think that talking is better then accusations and violence."

As a priest he had never wanted to see people argue or suffer from sadness or anger, the emotions that Hyacinth had gained and was so happy about were also the ones other found to painful. It wasn't something he even wanted to spend to much time on, "We are to go to the archives in search of some important books, something Hyacinth volunteered to help this old man with." Not that Addy looked to be anymore then in his early thirties at the oldest, "If we cannot keep peace I will be forced to take my dear friend away now and you will be left without answers to questions you might have."

Hyacinth looked up at Addy and gave the man a thankful smile before he glanced back to Cody and gave him a more gentle sort of expression, "It is... alright, it is something I am still getting used to myself." He murmured, glad to see that the boy was calming again so he lifted a hand once more to sooth it over his feather adorned hair, "As Addy was so kind to remind me, back when I still lived at the Labs and those that were a part of me came to visit I would answer any questions that they had of me. Though I am not there anymore I would do the same for you if there is anything you wish to know."

He was willing to answer all that he could for Cody, to help him where he was able to do so.

As the situation seemed to once more calm down Addy crossed his arms and went to looking back and forth down the street. There was nothing yet to worry over, not that he was exactly expecting anything to get in their way. Nobody that mattered knew they were here after all. Well aside from this boy now but Addy didn't see him as being an enemy.
