A Family Conversation

Lucifer and Michael spun around the room, the both of them wearing equally confused faces.

It isn't rare to hear impish laughter in hell, but it is a new phenomena to hear laughter that sounds like it belongs to an actual child.

"What is the meaning of this, brother...? You bring children to spy upon me in my prison now..?" Lucifer accused. 

Michael would have fought against such an accusation more fiercely if he were not also deeply perplexed.

"As if I would dare to bring a life of innocence into this palace of decrepit sin and treachery." Michael muttered back. 

Truth be told, Lucifer didn't think that his brother would have dine something like this even when he accused him, but hearing him deny it was still rather upsetting.

"Then why in our father's name am I hearing a child laugh in my great hall..?" he hissed back.

Before Michael could answer, a strange portal up in the middle of the room.
