[ baraqiel is lounging in the courtyard at the moment, beneath some sparse shade, something that glints in the light almost like a coin rolling across their knuckles. the angle that they're at lets rin see their wings, though not much else. ]
Come to insult the coins, next, or what?
[ their daemon is nowhere to be seen. rin may actually find this a little offputting, like someone without a limb. ]

[He had another question in mind, but he's had time to talk to others first and his mind is a bit clearer than it was before. So he asks a different question:]
Are you okay? After all of that?
[After a moment he realizes something and quickly adds a bit more.]
I mean, like, physically? I know all of that probably weighs on you guys too so you're probably not okay okay, but uh. No weird freaky reaction things because of being angels or whatever, right?

[ wherever rin is, there's a little paper airplane flying out to meet him! when he unfolds it, he'll find a slightly crude but cute chibi drawing of rin (with his pointed ears, and kurikara on fire!) with a smiling, masked angel. this speech bubble this time says "OK. WHAT ABOUT U?" in that bubbly handwriting from the welcome letters.
there's no immediate sign of suriel, but someone must have gotten close to throw the airplane, right? ]

[Important question: is the fire drawn red or blue?
But regardless, after seeing it he'll grin and look up to try and find Suriel, or at least any sign of them. They have to be around, right? If he had his magic this would be easier, but right now he's just going by sight and hearing.]
Cute drawing! I didn't know you were an artist.
[He says artist like 'ar-teeest' too.]

Hello, Mr. Okumura!
[ rin is greeted by the shortest of the temporals, a smile on their face, although as they come to join him in his exploration of the city they cock their head. ]
Or would you prefer "Rin," since you and your brother are both Okumuras?

[Hi Baraqiel! Rin is a little anxious, but he seems ready to talk when they show up.]
I was asking Yomiel about the murders, and they told me that the people above you guys are 'trying to prove something'. And that the Celestials are one side of it and Temporals are the other.
They also told me that the Temporals were told that you guys- the Celstials- are anarchists who want to destroy peace and order in the world.

[ this isn't a real audience from baraqiel, but it is confirmation that whenever rin wakes up from a mid-doze during his wait that some of the food has been taken.
a midnight blue feather with faint iridescence and glimmers of distant stars has been left behind for him where one of the plates was. it's cool to the touch. ]

[ bonk
a balled up piece of paper hits rin in the forehead, wherever he is before mini-event. when he unballs it, it's... not his strawberry, at least! it's blank.
but baraqiel is standing with arms folded, fully healed of all injuries, frowning at him. ]

[Since Suriel is a Watcher and he can at least trust her not to say shit, Rin isn't even going to bother hiding anything.
He's sitting on the ground, back against a wall, quietly losing his shit. But when she comes in, he'll lift his head a bit to look at her.
And then he reaches up and pulls his hood down, revealing his now-white-and-blue hair.]
I fucked up.
[His voice sounds so small too.]

[Hi Baraqiel! Rin glances up to the bird before looking to the Watcher.]
I saw an angel kill another angel, I think. The one who got killed was talking about 'the people's hope', while the other one thought he had 'fallen' and cut him down.
It...kinda reminded me of the story of what's going on between Temporals and Celestials. And it made me worried for you three.

| [ it may take a while, all things considered. it's only once visitors to the jail have slowed that the doors open and the gentle glow of moonlight reaches rin's eyes. that's the only warning he gets before suriel throws her arms around him. ] Rin... |
[He is a bit surprised to see her, he didn't think that he would be able to get an audience with her without yeeting a bottle into water. But he's happy to see her nonetheless, her presence is one of the few that would bring him some peace here.
He relaxes into the hug and wraps his arms around hers, hugging even if it makes his arms hurt a bit.]
O-chan...I'm sorry. I just wasn't sneaky enough to hide it.

[ it's late, late at night when baraqiel comes to the jail to see rin. his daemon slowly slinks in ahead of him, golden eyes and black-less orange and white standing out in the dark of the night of this little building.
he'll come to stand opposite of where rin is settled, before his trial day to come in the early hours tomorrow. ]

Hey.
[He's a little surprised to see her here, but then again not so much? She's a Celestial, after all. So he just gives her a tired smile.]
I wish it could've been you three at the trial. It was really unnerving to see the Temporals there, i think they were all mad at me.

[There will be more cute drawings in the future aaaa
First things first, Rin's going to go up and- well okay, not hug her, she's holding her daemon. But he stops short of hugging her and instead pats her on the shoulder.]
Thanks. It's...a lot, but it'll be okay yeah?

Well, there's two things, but the second kinda relies on the first so-
[He shifts his sword off of his shoulder and holds it up with both of his hands. The pieces are all there in the scabbard, but they are obviously still broken.]
Can you fix this? Like, it's okay if the seal on my demon half isn't fixed, I dunno if you guys can even do something about that. But can you just make Kurikara into a whole sword again?
