Balthazar smiles at Lucifer, then leans in and stage-whispers to Tony conspiratorially, "Strawberries. Not apples. Well, any fruit, but always go for strawberries first, for him."
He nods. "I'm from a different world than Lucifer and his lot--I'm not sure how much he's told you about that. But where I come from, an angel, regardless of rank, cannot walk the Earth without a vessel, which must be a human being. And to inhabit that person's body, we have to have consent."
"Some of my siblings have been careless with that in the past--not telling them all the details and drawbacks, that sort of thing. But I'm pleased to say I'm honest, and the human soul that inhabits this body is also a close friend to me. His name is Levi. I'm sure you'll see his art in Phenex's gallery before too long."
The explanation Tony gives of his work seems to be a relief to the angel. "Ahh. That sounds...colorful. But angels are often soldiers or protectors as well. I think I understand."
