Our Lady of Fandom, Wednesday

It was time to go.

Cat stared up at him. Those animals seemed good at figuring out when you were about to disappear.

"Won't be back this time," he told her.

Cat gave a noise of disapproval.

"You could tag along though," he said, without much hesitation. "Heaven is full of tuna." Well, if you wanted it.

Cat seemed to seriously consider this option and started to clean her belly.

[This is Gabriel's goodbye post! The church is open.]

Mary stopped by with a picnic basket. She had planned on inviting Gabriel to the opening at the gallery this evening. Obviously, she hadn't heard the news.

"Mary!" Gabriel looked cheerful, eyeing the basket. "I could use some food on the journey." Well, he didn't need it, but it was nicer.

"Journey? Are you going somewhere?" asked Mary, surprised.

"Time to leave," he replied.

"I seem to be hearing that a lot lately," said Mary. "You should have told me. I would have brought more food."

"I'm telling you know." And he didn't need food. "Have a good life, Mary." He smiled oddly.

"I will," said Mary, somewhat perturbed by the odd smile. "You take care of yourself, okay?" she added.

Then she went to give him a hug. Mary couldn't help it. She wasn't about to let Gabriel go without a hug.

He tensed and didn't return the hug, but he didn't pull back either. 'A thing mortals do', he told himself silently.

Cat jumped against Mary's leg.

"I'm going to miss you and Cat, you know," said Mary, trying not to get weepy. Well, at least not too weepy.

"Oh, don't start crying!" he hated when they started crying.

"Sorry, I can't help it," said Mary, wiping away a tear. "I'm just one of those girls who cry at everything."

He took a step back. "Cheer up! You'll see me again some day." He was the angel of death, after all.

"You think our paths will cross again, huh?" asked Mary. She was wiping away a tear but trying to smile.

"Possible. Now please stop crying. Have a coffee."
