[ His hand falls away limp at his side as Charlie pulls away from him, unable to hide the agony her action causes him like a wound through the chest. It shows in the gape of his mouth, the sorrow in the faintest lines that edge around his eyes that widen then fall nearly closed.
He looks away, then whispers quietly- ] Come in. [ Stepping back away, other hand falling from the door as he turns back in to his grief cave. All at once, letting her in physically but in part, emotionally. The malaise is thick in the air already, but it's nearly a literal darkness around the fallen angel as he goes and sits down on one of the couches in the large sitting room that connects back into the bedroom.
Everything within had been scaled to fit Lilith's needs over his own, which only makes him seem that much smaller as he tucks his hands into his lap and stares down at them. It's very clear that no one other than himself has been there in all those years - this room isn't as bad as the others, but it's enough to see that he hasn't let any previous member of staff come and clean, only his own haphazard methods that generally gave up on keeping things tidy long ago. Thankfully it isn't a foul cesspit, just... messy. Dusty. Lonely. ]
