I moved away with him looking on. His eyes said ‘go away boy’ as he took the mug and drank. I noticed that Damien had taken the seat beside Sophia. I gave her a glance in which she motioned me away, like shooing a fly.

She stuck her tongue out at me and anyone else who would protest her position.

Finally, I gathered their attention by pounding loudly on the table. I stood at the front of the table away from the door. Santiago frowned over at me, and once both he and Valentino gave me the sign of the cross, which meant death for our kind.

I ignored them and continued, but their every movement seemed to be crying out to me. I couldn’t help losing my place, and sometimes, I fumbled through the pages of my material. It was frustrating. I wasn’t much in giving presentations, let alone a speech to my employers, who were sitting and waiting to hear what plans we had to enhance the Cathedral, and what requests we could offer them considering our quarters.

Ramiel placed his cup down on the table, listening politely. It was more than I could ask for.

I was dressed in a velvet red robe, a gift from Sophia.

She said I wore it well. Underneath it, I sported a vest with a ruffled shirt, the cuffs of which sprouted from under the sleeves that hooded my hands. My slacks were black, and my vest was a ruby velvet color with golden filigrees at the edges. Though I never wore a tie, I used the only black one I owned that evening. My long ebony hair hung loosely and neatly over my broad shoulders as I held up my notebook and began reading off the names on the page.

Everybody came to order at the call of their names, with the exception of Valentino and Santiago. They simply glared over at me, as if to say we’re here, duh. I didn’t say a word in return, no doubt they were.

“Are we starting?” Ramiel asked, sitting himself defensively back, and then gazing over at Sophia.

“Yes, sir…” I managed to answer in a shaky voice. The others looked at me, then at Ramiel.

“You are aware we are still waiting on Seth? Have I not made that clear? He is joining us this evening.”

I swallowed what I wanted to say.

I placed the notebook down on the table, as the room grew uncomfortably silent. I thought no one would bring up Seth, but I should have known the only one to do so would be Ramiel. Was I that naive? Why wouldn’t he?

“He was?” Sophia asked, glancing over at Ramiel. Of course, she knew, hadn’t Ramiel announced it before coming into the meeting?

She was nervously stirring in her seat, unable to directly look Ramiel in the eyes.

“Yes, he is, my dear,” he immediately responded, a modicum of sarcasm in his tone.

“I’m surprised he’s not here. It’s not like him. Perhaps something came up. I’m sure it must be important for him to be…late.
