[Open] And Did the Countenance Divine

Who: Angel and You
What: Properly priesting, or trying to at least
When: July
Where: Yes!
Warning(s): None yet

1. I will not cease from mental fight [Temple Matters]
With Degas on his sabbatical, Angel is taking on the full mantle of Priest of the Mothers. He’s wearing the brown robes of a priest and the green stole with braided knotwork patterns similar to Celtic designs along it, even though doing so makes him feel a little like a child in their father’s shoes.

Still, he’s here if you need guidance or blessing, trying to fill the role.


2. Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand [Milk and Honey]
As he’s trying to fill the role of full-time priest, Angel’s still in his robes as he brings products from Kasprak farm into town. Vegetables and fruits, eggs and goat’s milk. And, of course, honey, in small glass jars all with a wax stamp on top–a bee with a pair of stylized feathered wings.

He’s visiting stores and restaurants, but if you catch him on the carriage Arcadia’s pulling, you might get tossed a ripe tomato or offered a melon. There’s plenty to go around.


3. Till we have built Jerusalem [A Day Off]
Sometimes, it’s all a bit much. Angel occasionally runs away from his duties. Never on days when there are services planned, never when he’s scheduled for something. But when restlessness strikes, Angel’s feet take him to the wild parts of the island. Paradesium, Lockwood Forest near Elsie’s Tree, and even nosing around the cave near Tawny Beach, though it’s been caved in since he and River had their adventure. He isn’t wearing his robes, he hasn’t combed his hair, he might be up a tree or sitting on a rock, and he surely isn’t expecting company.

But still, if you approach, there’s a sheepish little nod and a wave.


4. In England's green and pleasant land [Wildcard]

"No, Angel. This is between you and me. I'd like to see the two of you getting along but I'm not going to directly interfere." He doesn't want to make it seem as if he's pressuring Max in any one direction.

"I want to go back to what you said before. What did you mean when you said you don't know what you want to say to him? Are you still upset with what he did and said at the potluck?"

"I think you will find it's easier than you think." The human could become best friends with a Roomba.

"My suggestion is to bring him another jar, in person this time, and ask him if he knows any good recipes to use it on. That will work. I promise you."

"Yes, I know." He chuckles to himself.

"Here is a secret for you: some things really are that simple. Trust me on this."

Erik smiles a bit smugly in response.

"I think that's a good idea. Max would be very excited to collaborate. I've recently seen him at that old couple's bakery early in the mornings. Surely the two businesses could come to a mutually beneficial arrangement."
