Raguel once truly believed he was in love with a human woman. He watched her for a decade before he ever thought to speak to her. It didn't occur to him that it takes a certain amount of interaction for reciprocation.
He just assumed.
So it's not really a surprise that she laughed at the scruffy, dour fellow who'd just really, really thought he was as close to baring his soul to her as he was to anyone save the Ineffable Name.
So very naive.
When she rejected him, he saw her sins.
They were many.
When the fire came, he didn't even try to fight it. And it took him a thousand years to regret it.
:o! Glad you told me - I am terrible at keeping up with that. Have fixed it so you can actually read things. Though you may have been better off the other way. :]
When Coyote returns to her house she'll find a few things on her kitchen counter: spare change, a cigarette lighter, the cap to a bottle of vodka. Detritus from an angels pocket's is surprisingly normal. She'll probably keep them.
Raguel also still has the keys to her house and the bike.
Raguel prefers winter. Cold it might be, but the clothes are darker and the sky is solid grey and it feels... less like home. He prefers cloudy nights. Stars are beautiful, but have disturbing associations.
Somewhere on the internets I found a page saying that besides the whole Vengeance thing, Raguel is "an angel of ice and snow," which I always thought was bizarrely accurate. (And of course, the internet is always right.) But your details make a lot more sense than anything I had thought to come up with to explain it. ♥
