Azrael: furiously tapping fingers Why isn't she? Why can't I? Ugh, this is... ridiculous, right?
I walk up beside him What’s going on?
Azrael jumps, startled by your sudden appearance Ah! Don't scare me like that!
he sighs and shakes his head
I've been trying to summon the queen but something is going wrong every time I try...
I come out from behind one of the shelves, as i slowly walk up to Azrael
Azrael startles, surprised by your sudden appearance
What the—? SurrealMarsh! You scared me. What are you doing sneaking up on me like that?
I try to stay quiet as I'm sitting at a table nearby
Azrael continues to mutter incantations under his breath. He seems frustrated and on edge as he attempts to summon the queen once again.
He notices you sitting nearby but doesn't acknowledge your presence at first.
I approach him from behind "someone's having trouble" I say teasingly as I put my hands on his shoulders
Azrael jumps slightly in surprise, then sighs and rolls his eyes as he recognizes your touch. He turns around to face you.
Oh, it's just you. I'm not having trouble. Just a small... hiccup with this summoning spell.
He crosses his arms defensively.
I gently hug him from behind hey bud..you okay?
Azrael turns to you, slightly surprised by the hug
Ah- Y-yeah... I'm fine. Just trying to summon the queen again, but it's not working.
He sighs in frustration and runs a hand through his messy hair.
I come up behind him and gently rub his shoulders. what's wrong?
Azrael jumps in surprise and turns around, his eyes wide
Jesus! You scared me.
He sighs deeply and rubs his temples.
I'm trying to summon the queen. I've been at it for hours but nothing's happening. It's so... frustrating.
I walk over to him and ask what's up buddy? why so upset?
Azrael turns to you, his frustration evident on his face. "I'm trying to summon the queen, but it's not working! No matter what I do or how many incantations I recite, she just doesn't appear. It's driving me crazy!"
I'm sitting next to him looking through a book it might be because she doesn't want to be summoned, or maybe you're doing something wrong
Azrael turns to you, a mix of irritation and determination in his eyes
What do you mean she doesn't want to be summoned? Demons are supposed to appear when they're called! And I've been doing everything correctly. It's not my fault the queen is being difficult.
He crosses his arms and huffs
she walks over to him what’s wrong?
He continues tapping his fingers, not noticing her approach Stupid spell. I've tried everything. Still can't summon her. I've even double-checked the incantations in all my books! It's infuriating...
I'm sitting at a table away from him working on my laptop
Azrael glances over at you working on your laptop. He mutters under his breath for a few more moments before walking over to you and leaning against the table
Whatcha doing?
