Ah, that was the million dollar question wasn't it? There was, in fact, something in it for Raphael but how much of that should he reveal to the deer demon? Anything that the angel said could be used against him at any time, for any reason.
Not to mention there was no way to make Alastor answer truthfully or answer at all. It was a dangerous game where one needed to think more than a few steps ahead.
The angel paused for quite a long time thinking of his answer. Then he spoke.
"I want to help my niece even though I already told her you would be a waste of time and energy. I want to go home and forget about you. But I know you won't change out of the goodness of your heart so I want to find something else to motivate you." It wasn't a lie but it wasn't the complete truth either.
