Aurora scoffed, "Why would that bother me?" she asked. "I'm not asking you to be in a romantic relationship with her. All I'm asking is for you to turn her down politely so she doesn't get her hopes up," she clarified, giving him a pleading look, her hazel eyes staring directly into him with her hands clasped together.
Azrael stared at her for a moment, still appearing hurt. He responded simply with a firm, "No." With that, he turned away and began to walk past Aurora.
Her mouth fell wide open, her shoulders dropped to the side, but Aurora quickly blinked and snapped back to reality. She rushed up to Azrael, who was walking away, and asked, "Why not? You can meet with her in your disguise. It would be for a brief moment."
Azrael continued walking, his pace unchanged. "My answer still remains no."
