Jared hadn't really matured enough to start questioning the way things worked. But at Milo's brief recollection of what he'd experienced, it puzzled him. At the same time, it did make some sense. An Angel in Heaven that hadn't been purified? And then this angel had been tortured, from the sounds of it. "He didn't fall?" he breathed. Of course he had never met Samuel, but he wanted to now. Truly, he was even the first he'd ever read about. All angels that had been corrupted had fallen, and yet this one? Then again, no arch angel had fallen since Lucifer had risen up against God and was sent to rule over Hell...<br/><br/>~~~<br/><br/>The color drained out of Samuel's face. "2018?" he breathed. "I was gone that long?" Tears pricked his face and he closed his eyes against them. But then Ryan explained his existence. "Half? Oh..." He winced in sympathy. "I'm so sorry. That must be very difficult for you." His situation was so much different, and he felt reluctant to share his own situation. He flipped his palm over. "May I? I mean, if that's alright with you. I'm still corrupted. Oh, my name's Samuel, by the way." He just wanted to touch the other, though in other situations he would have liked to 'see' him by scoping his face with his hands. "I'm grateful. Thank you for taking care of me." Ryan's comment of angels guarding the area made him wonder. "I...Do you think Milo is here?"
