he knows the spectres approach before he speaks but Azrayel merely inclines his head to Beck speaking again in the natural current day language mildly ”something I would have asked when he felt more comfortable - and as you can see, he’s become attached to it” he suspects it will be a long while before little brother feels he can let go of this awful attachment - he won’t rush him, he knows the importance of your own realisations and epiphany’s,

Especially where freedom can be concerned.

Of course then his newest family connection speaks up and asks him why - and well, he could give many reasons, one, simply kindness, another simple gain of another member and another body to throw at the enemy so to speak - but the latter is the calculating cold approach and one Azrayel doesn’t entertain,

After all what use would a machination of that nature be to a creature who watches - and while he helps - mostly sees these small clan conflicts as what they are, small.

It gives you perspective when you’ve been on a gander stage - or when you are so long lived that you treasure the saving and prolonging of lives than the constant death of them - though He still sees the spirits and has struck deals with them before for the further continuing of living, he’s only ever asked fro service and always, always stressed the conditions - he is no Faustian devil.

So he merely 8nclines his head and answers in the ancient language ”because you need it, because you are family - blood or no - because I would like to know my littlest brother and maybe you would like to know the family you have never met - the only selfish reason I have is that I would like my family to live and be free in their lives and their choices” and maybe that’s incomprehensible but he is what he is - what reason does he have to watch others suffer or use them for his own ends when he has no ambitions or ends to meet when that one goal is all he wants - freedom and family.

He’s aware of another joining them - another new to the Tanglewood but she stays afar and he cannot blame that choice, he’s aware he is hardly the easiest to approach given. His size and appearance.
