Who: Chastity, Saint Agatha
Where: Agatha's place
When: Wednesday
What: Hi hi hi!

Chastity was practically bouncing, she was so excited to see Agatha. She didn't like to play favorites, but Agatha had always been so near and dear to her heart. She had held fast to her vows of chastity despite the changing times and the endless years, and that meant very much to Chastity.

She had called ahead an hour ago, as Agatha had requested. She wasn't sure who Agatha's roommate was, but for him to react negatively to angels and virtues didn't seem like a good thing at all. She would talk to Agatha about it, but she trusted Agatha's judgement. The saint had earned that.

Chastity knocked on the door a few times, taking a moment to adjust her habit. It always ended up askew on windy days.

Agatha had been using the day to clean up the apartment so that Chastity wouldn't see it in it's usual state. She wasn't home all that often with her hospital shifts and classes, and when she was she usually didn't feel like cleaning up.

When she opened the door to Chastity it was with a bright smile and no surprised that she was wearing a habit. Sometimes Agatha missed being a nun - she'd done it a handful of times throughout her history, but always found that her path lay outside a convent.

"Chastity!" Agatha beamed. "It's so wonderful to see you!"

Chastity immediately pulled Agatha into a hug, beaming all the while.

"Oh Agatha, it's so good to see you too! I was so happy to find out you were in the city, it just made my day."

Agatha held tightly to the Virtue, grinning into her habit. When she drew away that smile was still in place. "Mine too," Agatha admitted and then said, "come in, come in! I tried to neaten up the place a bit, but you'll have to forgive the dirty dishes. I haven't got a chance to get around to them yet."

The apartment wasn't all that messy - just a few things lying around here and there - but Agatha felt like she had to be extra good around Virtues. At least she'd removed all of Judas alcohol bottles from sight.

"Oh, your place is lovely, don't be silly," Chastity said, swatting Agatha gently on the arm. Then she took both of Agatha's hands and squeezed them, still grinning like mad. "I just really can't say enough how happy I am to see you!"

"Me too!" Agatha grinned again, shaking Chastity's hands with a large amount of excitement. "Sometimes it feels like I'm surrounded by people who don't understand me at all and I love them but... I'm just so glad you're around now!"

"Some of your fellow saints have certainly earned a good chiding from me," Chastity affirmed, tsking. She shrugged off her coat and hung it neatly on the hook by the door. "But you are as steadfast as ever, Agatha."

"They try," Agatha said, although she wasn't sure most of them tried at all. But Agatha didn't want to judge. (At least not out loud. She couldn't help the things she privately thought though.)

"Steadfast is me," Agatha smiled and nodded. "I'm happy on my path, even when it's a difficult one."

"Well, they should try harder," Chastity said primly. She tilted her head. "So! Who is this roommate of yours? I have to admit that I'm curious."

[shallnotmove.insanejournal.com]

"Ah," Agatha began, unsure as to how this was going to be taken. "Well, it's just that I think he really needs guidance and a firm but loving hand, and I know that I'm good at those sort of- Judas," she told the virtue, giving up on preamble. "Iscariot."

"Oh my," Chastity said, blinking several times. "That's...goodness. How on earth did you two meet in the first place?"

[shallnotmove.insanejournal.com]

"God put him in my path," Agatha said, as sure about that as she had been about anything in her life. That she had come across him not once but twice, both at times when he was so low in his life. Agatha knew that it wasn't her doing that brought them together. "I found him in a homeless shelter where I volunteered. I offered him a place in my home. He's a terrible roommate," Agatha laughed quietly. "Messy and difficult and up at all hours, smoking and drinking, but... I've really come to love him and see the good there."

Ugh, sorry I am so slow :(

[castitas-.insanejournal.com]

Chastity reached out and patted Agatha's hand. "It sounds like you're doing the right thing, taking care of him. Just...just be sure not to let his bad habits influence yours, all right?"

I'm just as slow, so no apology required!

[shallnotmove.insanejournal.com]

Agatha smiled warmly at the Virtue and shook her head. "Don't you worry about that," she assured her. "There's no chance of that."

She wanted to say that Judas took care of her, that there was an affection between the two of them and that she had trusted him with secrets she'd trusted no one else with. But it felt wrong to say. What she and Judas had was theirs alone.

"Can I get you something to drink?" she asked Chastity. "Coffee? Juice?"

We are basically sloths

"I'd love a coffee, if it's not any trouble," Chastity said. She peered around Agatha's home from her spot on the couch as the saint made coffee. The surge of affection she felt for Agatha, for her loyalty and fidelity, made her smile.

"I really have missed you so much, Aggie," Chastity said, still smiling as she accepted her coffee.
