It takes some time to come back to himself, but he can feel the angel stirring, and that is his sign. He calls his senses back inwards, observes for a moment his own heartbeat, his own breathing, before opening his eyes again. The cabin is too bright for his liking, even in the early light of dawn, and he hisses in disdain. He blinks, blinks again, his eyes losing their glow, their redness, returning to an almost human shade of brown, wings and horns and tail retracting until there is no trace of them left. Only then does he turn towards the stirring angel.
"You're awake."
It's not a question, and yet, he can't help himself hoping for an answer.
