Azrael threw her car keys down on the kitchen table, and sighed loudly as she walked to the fridge and threw it open. Camphor raised an eyebrow at her as he lowered the newspaper, tipping his glasses in the process.
Why he wore them was beyond Az, he had absolutely no need for them. And yet, that little glint off the end when he was staring down at her from between his legs...she shook the thought away, retrieving a water bottle before going and sitting at the table next to the demon. The idea was nice, but she knew Camphor had work soon, and while Azrael was normally very willing to make him late, she couldn't work up her usual libido.
Camphor could tell something was bothering his lover, and he tilted his head as she sat next to him. He set the paper down, removing his glasses as well, and placing them in his shirt pocket. "Would you like to talk about it?"
Az shook her head. "Not particularly," she shrugged, taking a swig from the bottle. Why she drank water was beyond Cam, she had absolutely no need for it. But then again, he knew his glasses were a bit of a strange touch.
"You usually feel better when you do," he pointed out.
And he had a point. But Azrael figured it wasn't worth bringing up how much she felt like changing career paths again. She went on and on about it all the time, that she wasn't completely happy with what she was doing now but felt like it was too late to turn away or turn back. She knew Camphor couldn't help anyway, he'd contented himself with working for the bosses downstair, rather than deal with the tedious hustle and bustle of living like a human. But Azrael liked to be normal every few decades, it was fun. And she was ever so good at it.
And despite that, she didn't feel much like going to school anymore. No, now she wanted to be artist. She was good at it too, about as good as she was at school, but pursuing it felt like a dead dream.
Camphor watched the angel turn over all of this in her head, feeling helpless to aid her. He could read her thoughts if he really wanted to, but knew it was a clear invasion of privacy, and preferred her speaking to him verbally than him invading her mind. So, he waited for her to collect her thoughts, and eventually, once she had, he watched her sigh and shrug once more.
"Same thoughts as always, I'm tired."
"You're doing rather remedial human work."
She shot him a glare.
"Sorry, sorry. I know. It's not remedial to you, it's a hobby."
She groaned.
