Lily's eyes narrowed dangerously. That was not information he should possess. Let alone the fact that he knew as small a detail as Wrath having been there with her. She knew that the Nephilim had ties to Heaven - He was part Angel after all - but that did not explain why he had given potentially crucial information, to a faction that might well be there anyway. [i]A Traitor? Double agent? No. He may be more muscle than brain, but no one would be so stupid as to betray the Charred Council.[/i] 

No matter. What was done was done. She could not change the fact that Wrath had leaked information you should not, but what she could do was to make certain that anything he had said couldn't be verified. "I am an agent of the Charred Council. That is all you need to know." She paused, just long enough for the non-answer to make frustration take root before continuing. "And if you had intended a fight, you would have attacked the moment you had the slightest suspicion that I was not Uriel." She gave him a smile that could hardly be described as anything but condescending. "Don't try to fool me, Boy. We both know the truth; that you were scared that I might actually have been who I claimed to be, and that you risked breaking your own silly little laws." 

She took a step forward, then another, arms no longer crossed, but hanging down her sides and spread ever so slightly - an open and welcoming gesture. She stood there, facing the angels and smiling. It was an un-guarded pose; unconcerned. Confident. It was one predator's message to another: [i]"I am not afraid of you. You are not a threat."[/i] 

"Now," she said, "I do believe you were about to let us about our business, correct?"
