 Samael Agnusdei ❝All men are not created equal. It is my purpose to make them so.❞
▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂
Samael didn't really have much to do over the weekend, so he decided to spend some time with Charley because... well, he didn't really have anything that resembled a social life. He knelt down as he watered the plant, holding up one of its leaves with a finger. "Why are you turning brown? I water you every day," He sighed, still feeling ridiculous for talking to a plant, but he did it anyway.
"Stop wilting, it's only summer. If you can't handle this, there's no way you'll survive wint--" He immediately cut himself off when he heard the door creak open, having not heard the knock beforehand. He dropped the watering pot and spun around, trying to act as inconspicuous as possible. And then he recognized the voice.
"Ah, Angela? Come in. Is there something you need?" Yep. Definitely wasn't just talking to a plant.

Angela.Tremaine My heart is like the ocean, it gets in the way
So close to touching freedom, then I hear the guards call my name...
"I just wanted to stop by and thank you for helping the other day," Angela said, stepping into his office. Wow, he was really there. That was just pathetic. This man needed a life. And a girlfriend. Seriously.
"I thought you might appreciate another plant because your office is so...spartan." She carefully set her bags down and reached in to very, very carefully pull out the cactus she'd gotten for him. "So...here. As a thank you gift." She went and set it by the other plant, which she noticed was wilting a little. She was glad, in that moment, she hadn't gotten him a fish.
"I also got you something else...." she went back to her bags and rifled for the book she'd gotten him. "It occurred to me that you might have not ever cared for a plant before so I got you this--it's, you know, about how to care for plants and things. So they don't die."You can say it one more time, what you don't like,
Let me hear it one more time, then have a seat while I take to the sky.

"Oh, it was no problem at all. I just wanted to make sure the students of Rosentale remained safe," Samael reassured her, a little uncertain. He could have sworn she enjoyed pain, so why would she thank him for taking her to the infirmary? Hm. Maybe she was just insane in general.
He had to smile when he saw her pull out a cactus as a gift for him. He was about to turn to Charley and tell him he had a new friend, but then he remembered she was there. He didn't want to look crazy in front of her. He admired the cactus for a moment, wondering what to call him. It would have to sound nice with Charley... sound a little prickly... Ah. Billy. Billy the cactus and Charley the plant. It was perfect.
"Thank y-- ah?" He stopped when she mentioned that she had gotten him something else, wondering what else she could possibly add to that. He took the book from her and flipped through it, feeling slightly insulted, but grateful at the same time. He knew what was best for Charley! He didn't need thi-- ...
He froze when he saw something in the book before glancing around the room. "... Sunlight..." He mumbled under his breath, realizing why Charley wasn't doing so well. He shook that thought off so he could thank her, "You didn't have to do this. But thank you. If you ever need anything, feel free to ask, alright? ... I tend to spend most of my time here."

"I noticed," Angela said. "You do know it's not actually healthy to stay in here all the time. There's no sunlight, the air is kind of...stale. And in generally it's just not good to stay shut up alone all the time. I know you don't want to have one of your students--who happens to half your size--drag you out of here to get some fresh air and sun but that is honestly exactly what I'm going to do when my arm heals if you don't start getting out a bit on your own."
"Honestly..." She went to poke the worn shutters over the windows wondering if there was even any glass behind them. "You remind me a lot of my uncle. He also focuses too much on his work and not enough on taking care of himself."
"You know that you're not going to be doing anyone at the school any good if you can't keep up with the students because you're half dead. You've got to look after yourself."You can say it one more time, what you don't like,
Let me hear it one more time, then have a seat while I take to the sky.

Samael frowned as Angela started lecturing him, the happiness he felt before now washed away. He knew how to take care of himself, and he didn't need a student, as she said, who was half his size, to tell him otherwise. "I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I am here a lot, but not all day or anything."
"I go out in the morning... and I walk around the halls sometimes during school hours. I only come back here to water Charley... I mean the plant," He said in his defense as he watched Angela prod at the blinds, though it only came out sounding like a bunch of excuses. He folded his arms and concluded, certain of this fact, "And focusing on work is much more important than myself. It would be vain of me to put myself above my job."
