The presence dissipated, and Aziraphale immediately felt foolish, peering up and down the hallway when it was clear there was no one there anymore. That is, of course, barring the odd servant, one of which who stood there, looking curiously at him.
"It's, er, perfectly all right... there was a bee," he explained, trying in vain to straighten his clothing. "A really... big one."
Uncomprehending, the man shrugged at him, and walked off, even as Aziraphale made a vague mental note to look up 'Tibetan Bumblebees' or lack thereof.
It was obvious that there was no one still there, but Aziraphale still looked, trying very desperately to seem as if he was innocently exploring the premises, which included one very dirty janitor's closet that was nearby.
He trudged back to the room, feeling awkward and paranoid, and walked around, sorting out the few misplaced items and shutting off the radio before opening the closet door.

"I apologize for that, my dear."
