'I'll protect you in case they try to do something to harm you,' Michael mentions as he slides closer to me and Nakir.

We're surrounded. The six members of the Sky Council sit across from us each with a more arrogant look than the next.
"The Council Clerk has told us about the deal you suggested earlier in exchange for giving the fallen angel his blessing back," the current Head Judge comments, setting his hands on the table. "How can we be sure that you will keep your end of the deal?"
"I feel offended that you would think such a thing," I respond with fake astonishment. "First off, the fallen angel has a name, and it's Michael. Secondly, unlike the corrupted angels I hear so much about, I know how to keep my end of the bargain and stay true to what I say. I will uphold my side of not personally taking you down from your positions on the council."
