For some reason, it always felt as if time didn’t pass when you were with Simeon.
Perhaps it was his relaxed demeanor and his own unrushed ways; he had time for everything, everyone, and he didn’t just burst into action (unlike an rowdy group of demons that you knew). No - everything was measured with him. The angel took everything in good time.
So when he had invited you out for coffee, you made sure that it fell on a day where you had no other commitments. You had to be sure that you could slip into that timeless dimension with him with no worries of repercussion or missing something. Although you knew that he was kind enough that he would have reminded you of any prior appointments, so long as you told him.
Café Lament was one of the more ‘normal’ spots in the Devildom, considering all of the other strange and wonderful spots. Briefly, you wondered whether it was also more normal for Simeon and whether that was why he chose it.
The gentle tap of mugs being on the table broke you out of your cloud of thought and you smiled at the angel. Ever the gentleman, he had insisted on collecting your drinks.
“Thank you, Simeon.”
“It should be me thanking you,” He slid into the seat in front of you, smiling with all of the charm in the three realms, “It was very kind of you to agree to coming out with me. We don’t get to see one another much outside of classes, do we? I think it’s a shame and I thought it was best to try and correct that.”
It came as a surprise that Simeon would want to see you outside of RAD, that he would seek you out for one on one time. But it wasn’t unwelcome.
And so the realm of timelessness was delved into - the two of you began to talk. One coffee soon turned into two, and before you knew it the two of you were being shooed out of the café by a disgruntled (and likely underpaid) barista.
Ever the chivalrous angel, he insisted on walking you back to the House of Lamentation as your conversation continued.
Once at the door he gave you another one of his infamous smiles, “Thank you again for coming out with me. It is always a pleasure to see you, little lamb. Call me if ever you need anything.”
And with that, your guardian angel in the Devildom was on his way.
