And you do not think that some novices up above are already doing that? We need to see to those still on Earth and make sure that they start with the right foot forward, do we not?
Seemed, being the key word. He is ruining my protege as it is with his...constant worry. I simply think it could eventually extend beyond that, to the point he's even more useless than he is now.
I know they are; some do so at my command. My methods are not so lax, Amon.
You are uneasy because of his influence over your student? That is easily remedied. Do not place the boy in such high favor, and let our lord shape his vessel as he sees fit.
I know they are not. I simply pose a question. Please, calm yourself, wouldn't want your panties in a bunch over such a simple discussion. [Yes, he's teasing on purpose.]
Partially. And I can't not. He's Michael's vessel and he has such potential. If Alastair had properly worked him over the first time, we wouldn't have to worry about him so much. Besides, that Boy King can't be trusted. He could still turn on us, you know that. The contract doesn't dictate what he does, just makes sure he doesn't give out too much information on us.
Greed is my dominion, as you know, not wrath. I do not succumb so easily; I am assuredly calm.
Yet he is still a vessel, not a host. Were he to turn, do you not believe we could easily overtake him? And if one were to swear fealty to Lucifer, do you not think him capable of retaining that loyalty, or obliterating any traitor?
Still no sense of humor after all this time. Perhaps you should work on that with how well versed you already are in your dominion, Mephisto.
Because 'He' supposedly decreed it, but I can't help but wonder if perhaps there are others out there. Why else would Azazel work so hard on those other kids? ...and while we could overtake the kid, who's to say he'd still be useful? Hmph. Look at the rest of Hell, half of them swore to serve our Lord, and look where we are? Civil wars all over the place, trying to get rid of our Lord. It's disgusting.
