"As you should, Cael." Araqiel whispered, reaching up and setting a warm hand on the younger angel's cheek, "They are your family now. You should love them and protect them, that is your sworn duty." He didn't quite like it, because it was one of those unknown things, but he couldn't blame Cael either "My mortal, she would have loved to see our child... If she were alive today." He smiled and shook his head fondly "Though, she would tell me that he was a lot like me. That our son was following in my footsteps, becoming more and more like me with every passing day. And, honestly, she is right. Our son has become a lot like me, in every single way. Truth be told, I'm quite proud of him... He has done the angels a good service, and he will do his mortal a good service, his child, too."
