[For his part, Michael takes the laughter in stride. The sound reassures him she isn't put out by his alternate perception throwing a wrench into what would have been a clever lesson plan for another human.]
Senses like mine have their disadvantages. I can't appreciate what it is to smell an almond.
[Not an apology, but an explanation.
Poisoning always struck Michael as a complicated and fallible way of accomplishing what a blade could guarantee with one well-placed strike—though of course, poisoning an angel is a difficult feat to achieve in the first place. Given how few angels Abraxas is home to and how limited the reach of all Summoned is thanks to the faction borders, maybe it's a possibility that deserves greater consideration. Michael considers the corpse.]
Whether cyanide poisoning or a heart attack, there was a time I could have solved this with a resurrection. Even now, I could simply clear the substance from my vessel if I were poisoned. [He looks across the examination table at Claire.] What would you do, if you suspected poisoning of this type and arrived before they died?
