[ Aziraphale comes on camera and he looks worn; he's obviously tired and hurt with light bruises. There's a scrape on his cheek and heshifts uncomfortably; it's obvious that he's still in a lot of uneasy pain. ]

Well, the new forest is rather lovely, isn't it? I think a few days of relaxation is in order.

[ FILTERED TO CROWLEY, ALICE?, NEKU AND SANAE

[There's just no words. There's only the furious face of a demon angered- not exactly a pretty sight. And then the SFC clicks off. Why hadn't he heard about this? He was stupid, so incredibly stupid!]

action! 2/2

[scaresplants]

[And now there's a sharp knock on your door, Azy. Even if you won't go to open it, he'll do so by himself in a few seconds.]

oh crowley :(

[benevolist]

[ Aziraphale jumps to his feet as the door opens, wincing at the slight pain and doing his best to hide his wings. ]

Ah, hello, my dear.

;_;

[scaresplants]

[He just stares at the blood on Aziraphale's wings, a large frown plastered on his face. He wants to say something, but the words aren't coming, so he just goes over and stares at his friend for a while.]

...You okay?

did you know nodoka's going on a date

[benevolist]

I'm fine. Just a little incident, that's all.

[ He smiles gently. ]

They just need a bit of a wash.

[ He shifts his wings a lottle, trying to work out the sores. ]

wait what ._. with who?

[scaresplants]

[He can't stand it, seeing the angel brush it off like it's nothing.]

Just a little incident, huh? You could have got yourself killed, angel!! Who in their bloody mind would go and talk to Naoya?! You know he hates you!

[He's so angry that he wasn't there to stop this from happening. What if Aziraphale hadn't been so lucky? The stupid, stupid angel...and Crowley himself had been stupid, too, for not looking over Aziraphale more carefully.]

akihiko! they're going running ;////;

[benevolist]

I didn't search him out, Crowley! He found me! He... [ He trails off. Admitting that he lost his temper because of Naoya threatening to hurt Crowley as not something the demon needed to hear. Especially not now. ]

Everything is under control now, my dear. There's nothing you need to worry about - and you and I both know that I cannot be killed.

*demon stalks her from the bushes* >B(

[scaresplants]

Watch yourself better! He's dangerous and you should've just run away when you got the chance!

[Oh, he wants to strangle the Son of Man. He doesn't care if he's the preminent example of murder and all, he is going to pay for messing with his friend.]

I know that, but your body could, and then where would you be?!

you're her favourite, crowley!

[benevolist]

I couldn't simply run away, Crowley! I had to... I had to make sure that he didn't even consider the things he said. I wouldn't let him!

[ The angel takes a deep breath. Getting angry again wouldn't help either of them. ]

It doesn't matter what state I'd be in.

[scaresplants]

Well, get this; he won't be changing his mind anytime soon. Just because you're an angel doesn't mean you can influence everyone to His divine will.

[See how upset you made him? You made him swear. Crowley sighs.]

Yes, but then you'd be back Upstairs...and you know how long the procedure is for getting a new body up there. It'd take ages before I would see you again.

[benevolist]

Crowley! For once this has nothing to do with His Will! He wanted to kill you! He threatened to - [ He stops, and his voice trails off into a soft whisper. ] He was going to kill you.

[ The angel moves and sits back down, careful of his wings. He is exhausted and this isn't helping. ]

I might not even end up Upstairs if I discorporated here.

[scaresplants]

[He looks surprised for a moment at that.] Is that so?

Well, I can take care of myself, alright? Besides, look at the pot calling the kettle black. I can't die either. There's really nothing to worry about...but what I'm worried about with you is that that stupid prat can rip your wings off and keep them as bloody souvenirs above his mantel.

[He huffs slightly in annoyance.]

Well, maybe you'll be lucky and possess someone else like you did that one time. Then we could find a way to get you out.

[benevolist]

I know you can, my dear. We've always been quite good at protecting ourselves, but... I don't want you getting hurt. Not because of me - and that's what it would have been. It would have been my fault, and he told me so.

[ After a moment of pause and a deep breath Aziraphale tries to smile. ]

I'm sure that'd be the prefered solution.

[scaresplants]

It wouldn't have been your fault. In fact, I don't want you getting hurt because of me. And look how great I've been at that. This shouldn't have happened.

[He tries to smile too but it's not really working.]

Hey, being alive is way better than being discorporated. I'm sure you already know that.

[benevolist]

It wasn't your fault. Naoya snuck up on me - and Sanae came before he could do too much damage.

[ The effort is appreciated. ]

I do know that, but the reminder is nice.

[scaresplants]

Yes, but I should have been there to talk him down. You can't always rely on somebody else to save the day.

I'm going to give him a talking to. Make sure he never even touches you again.
