[ He's surprised, halting in place for a moment before his lips purse into a very thin line, a scolding parked at the tip of his tongue. He wouldn't stammer over something as trivial as a kiss, and it's true that he probably can't afford much right now (though if any of the new arrivals could, it'd be Belial), but Lucilius only ever tolerated his ridiculous 'affections' in private. Not even a full day together and he's proving to be a nuisance.
But in the end, it's a small price to pay for convenience. Besides, an odd buzz of warmth lingers on his cheek even after Belial's pulled back, which affirms that this moonlacing business was real. Still, he moves along briskly with a chiding click of his tongue. ]
2000 years has made you bold, Belial. Perhaps you're due for some calibrations.
[ Not that he could ever hope to fix this mess of an angel. But a little disdain and a shallow threat are enough to set the matter aside and pull him along. They had plenty more to see and accomplish before the day is done, and he's not keen on wasting any more time on a nice stroll through the park. ]
