Alex and Husk flew through the skies of hell

It was quiet, unsurprinsingly.....there was no difference in air pressure, despite how high up they were....

So that made the silence between them pretty awkward

"So..." Husk spoke, his voice being nochalant as always

"You enjoying your stay at the hotel?"

Alex was slightly confused

"Uhhh...yeah?, why do you ask?"

Husk let out a dry chuckle
"Not that i give a shit...but it's better to chat a little than just fly around looking for a moron"

That comment sure got a laugh out of Alex, which Husker didn't expect, considering how most act in hell....he had forgotten how it was to talk with someone with minimal common sense...
Though this was still different, Alex was an angel afterall

Alex: "Welp...i could say i'm enjoying my stay, if we're being more specific here, but i never asked, how about you?, do you....like it there?"

Husker contemplated a lot about this question, but soon enough it was giving him a headache, so he just said whatever was in his mind

Husk: "Meh...that radio prick dragged me there, only thing keeping me in that stupid hotel is the booze..."

Alex almost accepted this response, before he saw Husk looking down with a bit of a sad face, instead of the usual grumpy expression

He stared into his soul, seeing how it was shaking, but it refused to crack, keeping the darkness around itself...

It's that difficult huh?...

Alex hesitated at first, because first of all, he didn't want a constant headache, and second, he did not want to intrude in Husk's life, seeing how he was more emotionally closed off...

But then he made up his mind, looking further into his soul, Alex winced in pain....

This always hurts...ughh

But when he received the information, tears started escaping his eyes without his consent...

But it was really...such a saddening life

Alex wiped the tears away and sighed

Alex: "So the only joys were the casinos huh?"

Husk: "huh? What do you mean-...wait a damn minute..."

"Did you peek inside my mind?"

Alex: "Uhhh"

Husk: "Are you fucking with me!?, have you ever heard of privacy you angel fucker?"

Alex: "I uh...sorr-"

Husk: "Forget it!"

....

The silence took over once again, and it was even worse than before

But surprinsingly, Husker himself decided to talk

Husk: "Hah...'forget it'...."
"I say that way too often"

Alex: "I know...but it's all so frustrating isn't it?"

Husk: "It sure as hell is...i drink to forget all of that...can't pull through it all sober"

Alex: "You sure about that?...to me you're pretty patient, even after that...you still talked to me"

Husk: "If you say so..."
