[ It's like being bound and gagged 24/7. Which is fun in a sexy sort of way, but less so in a body that feels two sizes too small. It isn't too small, of course, that's just how it feels once he's been in it too long. Still, he can't do anything about it and as long as he has something else to focus on, then it's fine. Andy is a good distraction.
Gabriel's grinning. Maybe it is closer to two-thirds? Angels, proper angels, have a whole multitude of ways of sensing each other and reading each other. Gabriel is a little out of practice, but he's still an archangel. Tiny little seraphs must be like an open book, right?]
No, I think you're pretty close. He told me you were smart.
[How smart exactly remains to be seen]
Right now Andariel, I don't need to threaten you, do I? I shouldn't ever need to threaten you. You know what I'll do if he gets hurt because you were a lazy, bad little angel. I'm probably just as inventive as Lucifer, although I hope you don't find that out.
[He kicks his legs back, heels touching the wooden panel of Greg's desk as his tone changes, suddenly light and friendly]
He's not actually all that uptight. If you do the minimum he expects of you, then you're on the right track. You know he could go far in this place, in time. Having him on your side from the get-go is probably better for you. Do some of your paperwork. Get one of those adorable interns to do it for you on the sly.
[Personally, if Gabriel was in Andy's position, he'd ask Greg for help and be so totally hopeless that Greg took the paperwork on himself. But he's not suggesting that. Greg has enough to do, and Gabriel doesn't want to put more pressure on him]
