WHO: Elizabeth & George
WHEN: Saturday afternoon
WHERE: George's apartment
WHAT: Excuse you, sort-of-husband, I never gave permission for torture.
WARNINGS: mentions of said torture

George had been tortured by Lucifer. In what world was that possibly something that was okay? Just the idea of even meeting Lucifer made Elizabeth feel like she was on the verge of one of her panic attacks, and that wasn't even bringing the torture into it. Despite the world she was in, where gods walked the streets and imaginary creatures were everywhere, Elizabeth was still a Christian at heart. Not, perhaps, a very good one, but she still believed that God was the True God and that Lucifer needed to be avoided as hard as one possibly could.

So when she arrived at George's house it was with worry - over what had happened - and anger - that he'd somehow allowed it to happen. She didn't care if that was foolish. It was easier to be angry than to be scared. She would always choose fury over fear.

She knocked impatiently on his door, calling through it, "it's Elizabeth!"

"I'm pissed off because we are supposed to be friends and we are supposed to share things with each other!"

Elizabeth would wonder later why she was getting so angry about this. Yes, and and George had a... complicated relationship when it came to others and, yes, Elizabeth had a temper, but today in particular seemed even worse. She only knew right now that every fibre of her being felt furious with George's betrayal of her.

"And because apparently whoever this girlfriend of yours is," Elizabeth spat, "she's more entitled to know the going ons of your life than I am!"

"She got tortured with me!" George snapped, hands on his hips. "She almost died, and it's my fault, so yeah, sorry, she's taking up a little more attention than you right now!"

Having this conversation with Wrath being in the next room probably wasn't the best idea, George reflected. He wasn't sure if she still sent out little rage-beams when she was asleep, but he wouldn't be surprised. Bess seemed extremely pissed, anyway.

Elizabeth was furious that he'd think she was making this all about her when she clearly wasn't. This was about them, and about his lack of trust in her, and about this huge betrayal of... everything! Elizabeth wasn't quite sure, but she knew she was not pleased.

"Well," Elizabeth said, stalking past him towards the door. "I'd had to take up any more of your precious time, in that case!"

"Fine!" George yelled, throwing up his hands in frustration. "Go! If all you're going to do is yell at me, then I don't care!"

It was possible, he thought distantly, that they were both being a little immature.

Yes, it's possible. Just maybe. SUCH GROWN UPS

Elizabeth made sure that, upon exiting, she slammed the door behind her. Halfway down the street from his apartment she wondered if, somewhere in all of that, she'd overreacted. But it was too late now.
