@AngelGoneNative@beatimalum@GoneNativeDemon "Oh, of course. I don't even request to touch them. I'd love to simply see them, maybe have you flip to a small sampling of the errors if that's not too much to ask."
I take a sip of my tea before taking a bite of a macaron.
@GoneNativeDemon@AngelGoneNative@beatimalum settle into a comfortable lull and get our selections sorted out.
"I have to commend you on your lovely shop, Mister Fell. I will have to come back and peruse your shelves soon," I compliment as I lean back.
@GoneNativeDemon@AngelGoneNative@beatimalum The way Crowley seems to have shortcircuited makes it clear that the sweet innocence of Aziraphale's tone had been for Roni and my benefit, and that there had been a clear sexual context for Crowley in his words.... the little tart.
I smile subtly to myself and help as we +
@AngelGoneNative@beatimalum@GoneNativeDemon I look at Roni, "As I said to you a little while ago, in the Church or out, you have me."
I turn to look at Crowley and then Aziraphale. "Speaking of, how long HAVE you two been together?"
@GoneNativeDemon@AngelGoneNative@beatimalum "Well, now I'm quite convinced that your sweetheart is just as sweet on you, Mister Fell," I say to Aziraphale with a smirk on my lips.
@GoneNativeDemon@AngelGoneNative@beatimalum I nod, "We brought treats to go with our tea. Roni wanted to surprise you." I allow Crowley to take the bag and smile as he deftly opens the box to present the colorful offerings.
I raise my voice for Aziraphale to hear. "Mister Fell, would you please add an empty server +
@AngelGoneNative@beatimalum@GoneNativeDemon I smile easily as I see my darling Roni openly envelope Crowley in a hug. He's exactly as both Roni and Aziraphale had described. And I feel a sense of safety here with him. The same I had sensed from Aziraphale.
@beatimalum We enter the shop and I see a lanky redhead that somehow manages to make me think goth twink even though he looks to be somewhere in his fifties and very tall. "Ah, hello."

@beatimalum I smile at her innocent joy. The words 'sweet summer child' come to mind. "I do hope so." I get out of the car and come around to her side, holding her door, then gathering up the treats we brought.
@beatimalum "You wouldn't have to do anything but be yourself. That's all I will ever ask of you." I pull our hands up, twisting so I can kiss the back of her hand.
A moment later I pull into a spot near the bookshop.
@beatimalum "Roni... I hope it never comes to it unless it is your wish, but... should you ever find yourself.... not in the church and need a home, you are welcome in mine. It would be ours. I just want you to know that."
@beatimalum I glance at her and back to the road, then reach out to take her hand and squeeze. "I would say that it is often the case..." I'm still amazed I found this beautiful soul, battered much like my own, and she sees beauty in me as well.
@beatimalum "Rare? As in the mistake ones I've heard of? I wonder what other rarities he has. I have some... explicit books. Ones that are a few hundred years old."
@beatimalum "I know what you mean, at least for Aziraphale. He called him his sweetheart. It was adorable. Now, I'm assuming we are meeting at Aziraphale's bookshop? I know where that is." I put my hand on the shifter, ready to go.
@beatimalum In short order we are loaded up and settled back in the car. "Alright, off we go. I'm looking forward to seeing Aziraphale again and meeting his partner."
@beatimalum "Little one, I'd buy out the whole store if it were your wish. Yes, I'm happy to buy these for you." I pull out my debit card and nod to the worker that's been helping us, indicating I'm ready to pay. After the transaction is completed, I scoop up the bag myself and gesture +
