"Fair enough," the angel replied. He was uncomfortably aware of the risks they each had taken thus far, and he also knew that Crowley was right: there was no better way to help Belial than to attempt to do so together.
"So far as I am aware, the only demons who know of any special circumstances between Belial and myself are you and Lucifer. I think it would be plausible for you to say you were after the Crown, but were waylaid in Amsterdam by the archangel Gabriel? No one needs to know you have any idea why I would be seeking him as well." The angel's gaze was sober as he watched the demon across from him, but Gabriel kept any malice from his tone, even when he spoke the Morningstar's name, and tried to sound as though he were inviting the demon's - hopefully less vehement - opinion.
