[ Aziraphale knew he should have expected what had happened, but that didn't make it easier. In fact, it made it worse - a million times worse. The broken hope was rushing through him, but he had no way

[He strode over to where the angel was sitting, chiding himself for not taking action sooner. He had always had the feeling that the angel's feelings for Mr. H would bite him back where he least expected, but he didn't realize that would happen so soon.]

[He doesn't say anything for a while, just stares at his friend before giving a small sigh and sitting down and ordering a glass of wine of his own. He doesn't know entirely what to say. He doesn't want to sound incredibly dismissive of the whole thing. He stares down at the table, unsure feelings flitting through his mind.]

...Hey.

[benevolist]

[ Aziraphale glances up as his friend sits across from him and tries his very best to smile - it's a valiant effort but entirely unsuccessful. Slowly, he sits up in his chair and moves to pick up the piece of paper, folding it carefully and placing it in the pocket of his shirt. If he drinks as much as he plans to the thing could get damaged. ]

Hello.

[scaresplants]

[He eyes the paper, interested, but decides not to commet on it. If it was something Hanekoma gave him, then it was private and the angel's business.]

I'm sorry about what happened to your friend, angel.

guess what i'm watching 8|

[benevolist]

[ Aziraphale lifts his shoulders a little before slumping ever so slightly. ]

It's alright, my dear. I'm sure I should have expected it.

[Joshua sat down across from Aziraphale. How he knew the angel was there was anyone's guess, but he wasn't looking much better, either. There hadn't been tears, yet he could feel something gnawing on his heart when he could no longer sense Sanae's presence.

He simply took it upon himself as Sanae's friend to help the man's 'family' out in their grief. Maybe then he would finally give in to his own, though now was not the time. Not in Joshua's opinion.

The Composer refused to think about the what if there was a third time, the possibility that the next one would be the same case Joshua was. He felt that would simply devestate the little family.

For now, he was just going to sit there silently, letting Aziraphale take the lead.]

8( aww

[benevolist]

[ Aziraphale didn't want to speak. He didn't want to talk about the issue, though he knew from experience it was the right thing to do. He didn't want to get on with his life here as though nothing had changed.

Too much had happened, too much damage and pain and suffering for it all just to be ignored.

After a long, tense moment, he sighed and reached out, lifting the glass into his hand. He could at least pretend to drink it. ]

... How are you, my dear?

/NEEDS A PAID LIKE BURNING B<

[oh_neku_dear]

[He echoed that sigh, though his was softer.]

Could be better.

[Joshua tilted his head, a subtle gesture.]

How are you holding up, Aziraphale?

;/////;

[benevolist]

[ The angel's eyes move to look at Joshua and he smiles rather weakly. ]

I, too, could be better.

[ Alucard emerges from the shadows, walking up to the forlorn angel. He stands behind God's messenger, looking down at him. Oh... to see such a divine creature in such a state. It pains Alucard. His red eyes soften as he bends down to whisper softly in Aziraphale's ear. ]

My condolences for your loss, îngerul meu.

[benevolist]

[ The angel tenses, but then lets out a breath and bows his head. ]

Thank you.

[eatingwings]

[ Alucard nods. He stands up straight and walks to the otehr end of the table, taking a seat. He crosses his legs and folds his hands in his lap. ]

It pains me to see you in such a state, angel.

[benevolist]

[ Aziraphale's eyes stayed glued to the wine glass; he doesn't want to take his eyes away. He might break himself. ]

There isn't much I can do to remedy it, I'm afraid.

[ironyloli]

[little holy girl meets the angel, how quaint-

Well, she does so enjoy exploring now that she's... free to do so. By some manner of luck or coincidence, she manages to pass by this cafe in particular. However that sad sigh of Aziraphale's manages to reach her ears and... she so hates seeing someone suffer.

Not realizing that it may be a bit of an inappropriate time, she approaches him and clasps her hands together. Oh, how she worries for this stranger.]

Is everything alright, sir? You seem so... upset...

[benevolist]

[ Aziraphale glances up at her and - well. She feels different in a way he can't quite place and it's fascinating and, for a moment, quite distracting. He soon realises he's staring and forces a small smile onto his lips. ]

I'm quite alright, my dear, thank you.

[ironyloli]

[A small pout. She doesn't quite believe it.]

I do not mean to doubt you, sir, but one who is typically 'alright' does not emit such sighs as you have.

[benevolist]

[ Sitting up straighter he smiles; it's weaker than before. ]

Ah... No, I am fine. A friend of mine has left, that's all.

[pristinestar]

[Red had entered and left this cafe at an earlier time, but by the second time he's here, he now noticed that person was still here. right on the same spot, with the same cup...

he couldn't avoid to watch a little, then realized that lonely and pained look within the other's eyes. that made him frown a little, it's always sad to see such things. but after a while, Red realized that staring was rude - so he decided to walk over, then placed his hands on one free seat.]

Hello... Um... Is this chair taken?

[but when he got closer, Red realized that this is that person he had talked to once before. he smiled a little at the familiarity, it had been a long while.] Oh, it's you.

[benevolist]

[ Aziraphale lifts his head, and then - ah. A soft smile crosses his lips as he sits up, trying his best not to look too devastated. ]

Good day, dear boy.

[pristinestar]

[in order to uplift the mood, Red smiled at him brightly]

It's been a while...

I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself last time. I'm Red.

[benevolist]

[ The angel can't resist the small smile in return as he moves to pocket the note ever so gently. ]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Red. I am Aziraphale.
