Hm. Blood and frogs. I remember those. Very poignant, at the time.

[A significant pause. There might be an almost-audible clink of a spoon stirring tea.]

At least they weren't quite so petty then, though. On the one hand, yes, still the same basic concept, I imagine: plagues o'er the land to prove a sort of point, if you will, to a single man. On

Oh dear.

[meaculpable]

Aziraphale, If you believe Yahweh any better than I, may I remind you of Sodom and Gomorrah.

there is no hostility here ever.

[not_occult]

I am merely pointing out the, in my opinion, relative pettiness of two plagues let upon the City because of the disbelief of one man.

HE HATES QUOTING THE BIBLE, OKAY. WHY YO UMAKE HIM DO THIS.

[meaculpable]

"This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood."

By his own words, they deserve much more than what I have offered.

TO MAKE HIM IRRITABLE OBVIOUSLY there is something to be said for passive-aggressiveness.

[not_occult]

And do you intend to give it to them? I could have sworn you said you're not here to bring about the apocalypse.

Fffff. Derpy.

[meaculpable]

I simply try to make my point. Are you always so contrary?

indeed.

[not_occult]

It depends on the company.

[meaculpable]

Careful, angel.

[not_occult]

Are you threatening me?

[meaculpable]

A threat implies distress over anything you could do to my person or my charges.

I do not threaten.

[not_occult]

Semantics. Are you attempting to scare me, then?

[meaculpable]

I am apparently very good at them, if you remember.

I do not desire conflict, if that is what you want to know.

[not_occult]

I remember a lot of things.

Would you tell me to be careful again if I asked what you do desire?

[meaculpable]

What do you believe I desire, Aziraphel?

[not_occult]

I wouldn't want to make any assumptions.

[meaculpable]

You already have, I'm sure. I offer Carte-blanche.
