He gave a little shrug, "I am not sure about if its allowed... normally I am the one keeping people away from the angels. I know I leave them lonely but its better then letting bad people bother them." He said, thinking on it for a moment, "There is one among them that would most appreciate a visit."
He wasn't sure what the others would think about him showing up and there were only two bound by their Virtue to kindness and forgiveness and as such couldn't and wouldn't harm him despite his many sins.

"Okies." Ebby said softly, squeezing Almas's hand a little tighter. "I'll be good." she promised.

Almas gave a smile, "I don't doubt it, you seem like a very good girl. After this though we will start to circle back around to check on your Mother." He trusted the woman more then the techs since Ebony seemed to like her so much but at the same time he felt... a compelled to go back and check on the vessel. Not because of Dartsmoore but because it felt odd to leave it behind when it was so important.
He led her to a different part of the building, this one had an aura to it, light and gentle, and it felt welcoming despite the hallways seeming to be empty. He took her to one of the rooms, tapping on the door before he stepped inside, "Hyacinth, are you in here?" He called out.
There was a shifting sound and the red haired angel was walking to them from where he'd been sitting and reading, "Almas, welcome back. Another visitor?" He asked, looking down at her, "She looks a like J'her now doesn't she? Lust and Patience?" He questioned.
"Actually Kindness, she just wanted to come by and say Hello."
Hyacinth was clearly surprised by this, "A visitor...? For me? That's so kind of her." He murmured before he knelt down in front of Ebony, "Hello."

"Hi." Ebby said with a bright smile, her small eyes turning up at the ends. "I'm Ebony. Nice to meet you."
And due to an impulse - for he seemed to be in need of a bit of care - the girl leaned in and gave Hyacinth a light hug around his shoulders. When she pulled back, her smile at him widened a bit, warm and friendly.
"He said your name is Hyacinth, right? It's a very nice name." she told him, and believed it to be true. It was very easy for Ebby to love people, and be kind to them. And this angel did really seem to give off the aura of needing some care and affection, not only able to be felt through his reaction to having a visitor.

The red haired angel gave a flutter of his good wing then leaned into the hug as though it were some sort of comforting life line, "It is nice to be you Ebony." He murmured softly, a little sad to find the hug end up didn't say anything.
The angel was surprised, first Slythor and now this girl... they were so gentle and affectionate despite demonic blood flowing through their veins. It was a bit strange but comforting at the same time, that the blood of himself and his brothers could help in such a way, "I thank you, it is the name I was given when I can here. It is a sort of flower I believe."
He seemed to be the very epitome of gentleness, his voice not rising above a quiet tone, his lips turned into a smile, and his eyes shone with happiness at having someone to talk to, "Have you met anyone else yet?" He asked, curiously.
Almas gave a soft chuckle which caused Hyacinth to glance at him in a curious manner, wondering what had happened that would make him laugh like that.

"We met one of the Vices outside but that's it so far." Ebony explained with a nod. She was quite comfortable around this angel - was anything but scary as some people around here were. She felt rather sad that people were dangerous to him, leaving the redhead alone - he was sweet and seemed so lonely.

"One of them?" He murmured, tilting his head to the side in a thoughtful manner before nodding, understanding now what the laugh had meant. If she had met one of the Vices that meant that she had met with Enki who was the only one among the demons allowed to roam free since...
A look of guilt shone for a moment on his face, "I hope he was doing well." He murmured, only Enki had escaped punishment after what had happened to Hyacinth because he didn't seem to pose any danger despite what he looked like. He was just... annoying or so people said. Hyacinth himself had dealt him on many occasions and had done well enough in those dealings if feeling a little exhausted after from all the talking.
Almas gave the Patience angel a long look before smiling, "They are all doing well enough. I saw Llewelyn and Charna not to long ago in fact." He said in assuring way so that Hyacinth wouldn't dwell.
The red head nodded before his attention was back on Ebony, "What caused your desire to meet with everyone?" He asked, curiously.

"Almas said that the virtues and some of the sins were nice, and I was curious about you all. Mommy said it is good for me to know about what sorts of good traits and bad traits there are in people, so it seemed like a good idea to come and see if I could meet everyone. It seems kind of lonely and scary here to me." she explained to the angel.
The talk of Enki and the Vices causing the guilty look to cross Hyacinth's face caused the small girl to extend a hand out and gently clasp onto the Virtue's. It seemed like a great crime in the world for him to be sad, so she hoped that holding his hand might comfort him a bit.

Hyacinth gave a nod, "That is an interesting idea." He said, finding the idea of having someone meet them to see in turn what all lurked in human hearts to be a good one, "It can be lonely and scary here but there are some good people around if you search for them." Though by 'people' he didn't mean many of the Techs, while he forgave them because it was in their nature he could also see the darkness that was within them.
The angel seemed gladdened by the hand holding his, his entire demeanor changing from showing guilt to showing delight, "So long as you stay with Almas you should be alright, he will watch after you." He said, ever believing in people whether they deserved it or not.

"That's good. I'd be really worried about you if there weren't any good people here at all." the child said, her tone becoming quiet for a moment, feeling somewhat worried for the sweet angel, and for her blonde friend. Bad people could be scary! Gently, as she thought, she squeeze Hyacinth's hand. Yes, it was good that he was safe.
"I wanna come back and visit you again sometime. You're really nice to talk to." the child said with a nod, looking at the angel with her soft, fox eyes. She tended to feel most people who gave her the time of day were nice to talk to, but Hyacinth gave the spawn a different feeling than most people did. A calm warm feeling that made her happy just being close to him. Like he was such a wonderful person that her soul felt free being near him. Which, for all she knew, could be true.

"I would enjoy very much to have you come by again." He said with smile, returning the squeeze she had given his hand.
"We should get going soon, I hate to make your mother wait for us to much longer." Almas said, feeling bad that he was leaving behind the angel who deserved to have much more time with people then he got. He would see about visiting himself now that he had more free time on his hands.
Hyacinth released Ebony's hand, "I await your return." He told her honestly.

Ebby smiled brightly and gave Hyacinth another hug around his middle. "I'll make sure to come back and talk to you again sometime." the girl promised the angel with a warm smile before retreating to take Almas's hand again.
"Okies, we can go back to Mommy now." the child said with a nod.
"Byebye Hyacinth." she finished to the redhead, turning back to wave to him as she and Almas walked back.

Hyacinth walked with them as far as the door to the room, watching them as they headed out, "Good bye for now Ebony." He murmured, closing the door after her and Almas. When the door was closed he returned to his reading.
Almas looked down at Ebony, giving her a smile, "I thank you, that meant a lot to Hyacinth." He said in a happy manner, he was glad to see the Patience angel perk up a bit even if it were only for a short time. While he was one to forgive all others he didn't seem able to do the same for himself.
They were soon heading back down the path that would take them back to where Dartsmoore was waiting for them, guarding the vessel. It was to long after passing through the garden on their walk that a clicking sound was following along after them doing its best to remain quiet... though failing.

Ebby's small pointy ears perked at the sound and she looked over her shoulder as they walked. On spotting exactly who she'd thought it was, the small child smiled and waved. "Enki's following us." she said softly to Almas with a gentle smile back to the creature. She may be able to tolerate him, but the Fallen couldn't. And they were going some where a little more private.
"Want me to wait with him? You can have Mommy come out to me. You seem eager to get back." The child wasn't much concerned about Dartsmoore waiting. She knew her Mommy well enough to know that Dartie didn't really care and the concept of time was almost foreign to her. But Almas wanted to get back to his thingy-thing and that might not be something he'd want Enki around.

Almas gave a little nod, "I hear him... we can pretend not to see him and let him pretend he knows how to stalk." He murmured back quietly. Letting him win the game would keep him silent until he was able to get the girl back to her mother and then he could worry about chasing him off.
He looked down at Ebony, flushing a little, "I am sorry if I seem in a hurry... the vessel is holding something... no... someone very important. I guess I am just nervous about leaving it alone... like I might miss something." He explained to her, "We can keep walking, I can deal with Enki... he's not so bad just... long winded."
