F..... Frieeeend?????

Azrael stands there awkwardly. AZRAEL: "... How are you? The Elixir cannot possibly be easy on a human." AKIVA: "Um, I'm fine now. The thing tasted like gunpowder, though. It's nasty. But anyway, I came to ask you some things, if that's okay. I figure since we're friends now I should get to know you better." Azrael's eyes widen in surprise, his slit pupils dilating. AZRAEL: "Friends?" AKIVA: "Yeah! Geez, have you Sector Guardians never had a friend before? You guys always seem so shocked at the concept." Azrael kneels down to take a seat with Akiva on the ground. AZRAEL: "Well, I don't leave my Sector you see. It's not that I don't want to get to know the others, it's just..." AKIVA: "It would be awkward at this point?" AZRAEL: "Yes. And most other Guardians have a sort of animosity towards Azrael. The title is always held by someone who was once human. We are the outsiders of the Astral."
