world without end

I've just returned from earth, archangel.
oh? was it an enjoyable trip, lord?
yes and no. it certainly is a beautiful place.
one of your best works, lord.
with the possible exception of humans, maybe. I don't know. I still believe in them, lord.
for your sake, I hope your belief is warranted. regardless, I've instructed Michael to suit up.
no! Michael? but there's only one thing he knows how to do! yes, I know, but a certain amount of cage rattling is called for, seems to me.
but Michael? he doesn't just rattle the cage. he blows the whole thing up!
that is his specialty, true.
sometimes I envy his power, although that's not my style. I like your style, archangel.
I like yours too, lord.
I should hope so.
