[Hate is a very strong word to describe Angel's feelings about anything. He wouldn't even say he hates working. Yes, Denji is extremely annoying and yes, he keeps touching him without asking and yes, he makes absolutely no sense with 75% of the things he says, but he doesn't hate him. Even Aki looks surprised that Denji has come to that conclusion, stating, "He doesn't hate you, he's just like that."]
I can't reach the feathers in the middle of my back easily. And he's no good at doing it. ["He" being Aki. He was given the task once and failed horribly, barely brushing the feathers out at all. It was also way too ticklish with how gentle he was being. Denji is less caring, he figues.] So I'll let you try it next.
[He does, in fact, sit down right in front of the doorway when Denji comes over, because why move when it's a spot that works? Facing away, he stretches his wings out gradually, the wingspan nearly doubling as he does so, Angel's expression that of someone stretching their arms after a long day.] Just go right down the ones in the middle of my back, there... The ones I can't reach. [He won't attempt to teach him wing vocabulary, instead reaching back to grab at the bottom of his tertials, trying to touch his scapulars to illustrate where he means for Denji to brush.] There's a lot stuck in there, they need to come out. But don't pluck them. They'll fall out if they want to fall out. Got it?
