The idea of Balthazar leaving him completely sends a pang of anxiety through Levi, one which he wasn't quite expecting and isn't sure how to cope with. Phenex's gentle grasp for his free hand is timely, and after a moment where his expression flickers with uncertainty, he recovers a little and curls his fingers around theirs. "You know, I haven't been actually alone since he picked me up over a century ago, except for that one time he went off flying with you. I'm not sure...is it weird that that scares the hell out of me?"
Not like he wants to be dependent on an angel living in his brain, but you get used to things. "But I don't want to tie him down, either."
He glances at Phenex. "Maybe if I had company while he's away, sometime?"
Is he flirting? Maybe. Levi was never good at flirting, but he's pretty sure he's incapable of feeling lonely or unsafe with Phenex there.
