Without Adam..." his voice trailed off into a shudder. "Well, at that point it had become a family matter."
He smiled wistfully. "Crowley has never needed much prompting to do insanely brave things. Tries to convince the world he's a lazy callous bastard, but, well. I worry." And I miss him terribly, he thought, but it hardly seemed right to inflict complaints about his personal dramas on Ellie of all beings...after all, Aziraphale's...beloved? Yes, still, alas...was still alive, and that meant there was always hope.
