[There's a moment of quiet that stretches just a little too long, before Aziraphale speaks up in a rather strained tone.]

Well, this is certainly... unpleasant.

[Master of understatement.]

Er-- I think perhaps I ought to say something about the virtues of patience and endurance, but honestly, it's difficult to take that seriously at the best of times. I only hope that those of you who are able to, er, get about, are willing to aid those who aren't.

Crowley, you might bring some towels.



[ooc; fml please pretend this was earlier in the day .-. and augh backtags tomorrow. He's stuck with Dulcie's bleedy gunshot wings.]

Comments

[mr_phale]

I do understand that.

[justamessenger]

I knew you would.

Do you want to watch the DVD now? Or should I make tea? A cocktail?

[mr_phale]

A good stiff drink would not go amiss.

[justamessenger]

You look like a gin and tonic kind of guy to me.

[mr_phale]

To be honest, I am quite easy to please.

[justamessenger]

Those words are music to my ears.

[mr_phale]

I do appreciate your coming by, Dulcie.

[Though to be honest he's a tad more worried about her than himself. Just in general. That's how he rolls.]

[justamessenger]

[It's general angel behaviour to worry about everyone but oneself.]

I'm glad to help.

[mr_phale]

[Honestly, as angels go, he's fairly selfish.]

I haven't been able to, er, put them away. It's terribly inconvenient, when one has gotten into the habit.

[justamessenger]

I don't know if I'd want to put mine away. It's like losing a friend.

[mr_phale]

It's a bit more practical, in a bookshop.

[justamessenger]

I have lots of practice, I think.

I'm not used to everyone seeing them, though. Not until I came here. Or you know, me either.

[mr_phale]

I wouldn't say I'm, er, particularly in the public eye, but I do tend to be a bit more visible than you, I suppose.

[justamessenger]

People see what they think it makes sense to see. Which doesn't include me a lot of the time.

[mr_phale]

Exactly. Same idea, really, only different.

[That made sense. No, it did.]
