[ The SFC goes off and Aziraphale moves to answer it without even thinking about who it could be. He presses the button, lifting it to his ear with a soft smile - as though he were actually face-to-face with the person.

[ Sigh. ]

I--cannot say I disagree, but rather that... I've grown somewhat fond of this one.

[ Annnd he accidentally flicks the video on. It seems like he hasn't really been paying much attention to anything. Is--is he drinking? Yes, he's been drinking. There is a long, painful pause, and... ]

How... are your injuries?
