It was one thing to be told Archangels exist - assuming Tanith believed whoever told her. It was another thing to meet one, and to find out very quickly what they were really like. And while Gabriel had obviously been in pain the whole way to the cinema, he'd been jovial and friendly enough that it was easy to ignore. Maybe the initial shock, which was still in the process of wearing off, had helped a bit too.
But it was impossible to ignore this. They were, as far as any of them could tell, pouring water over a large wing. Gabriel's sudden agony halfway through his answer was jarring, and Tanith had absolutely no idea what to do about it. Everyone else had physical tasks - even Valkyrie was working on her manipulation of water. Tanith was feeling useless again, and that flash of anger, more than anything, helped her sail through all of the weirdness of the situation and focus on helping what was in front of her. That was, after all, what she was good at.
A bit misrepresented. Yeah. If by a 'bit' you meant 'everything you ever thought you knew about them is totally and completely wrong.' You know, aside from the wings and the halo.
Tanith placed a sympathetic hand on Gabriel's shoulder, slowly and hesitantly, unsure whether it would help or just cause more pain. It also hit her, for the first time since helping him out of the church, that she was touching an Archangel, but she would have to ignore that. "What about your closer brothers? What do you guys like to do for fun?"
She was pretty sure no one wanted to hear about Lucifer right now - although Gabe's next answer could kind of go either way, depending on what, exactly, Archangels found fun.
