Luckily for Balthazar, Gabriel couldn't see even his expression right now. Though the archangel did snort a little without lifting his head. "Why, Balthazar, if I didn't know any better I'd think you had something to hide."
His tone was ironic. Of course the angel had something to hide. Who didn't? It was just that souls couldn't actually hide them. Grace could, because angels could control it, but souls? Forget it. Especially not from an archangel, even one whose Sight was obscured by the equivalent of static.
Then he sighed a little. "For what it's worth, it doesn't work if I don't look at you. And I can't see details anymore without direct eye-to-eye contact."
He was probably going to regret admitting that, but right at this moment, he felt his owed at least one of his brothers a full explanation. Just in case of ... something.
