[Now isn't the time to have a discussion about the fact that Aziraphale's actually kind of great, nor to bring up the fact Crowley thinks he and Lilith could get along once they got past the demon/angel thing.
Baby steps.]
You know what this place is like, you're bound to run into each other. [So there's that. But also:] And I certainly wasn't planning on telling him that we've fucked.
Well, I'd certainly not expect that to be anyone's business.
( she doesn't go around telling anyone who else she's slept with. it's her business and that's it. especially when it's caused by the influence of duplicity rather than her own complete choice )
Should I be concerned what else you're sharing?
( she knows that she doesn't need to be but he opened this up )
( the look she gives him is to suggest that she doesnt find the angel to be particularly smart, wouldn't expect him to. but she finishes it differently )
( the look she gives him absolutely says that she'd rather aziraphale didn't call her but lilith knows that in this place she'll end up encountering him. she does keep meeting the priest )
There isn't that much that he does need.
( though if crowley ever did want to know more, just out of curiosity rather than an expectation she would give him some answers )
But-- perhaps I could clear something up? To not misinform him.
[He doesn't think he'll ever get used to the false god, despite his own complicated feelings about the Almighty, but he's not about to say that out loud.]
We ought to start a club for the lot of us without birthdays.
Well, there's at least three of us demons. [Actually, now he mentions that.] Have you talked much to that other one? Hatter, or whatever it was, like this is bloody Alice in Wonderland.
[She could've run into any other demons that way, too, though maybe she avoids them. He sort of days, keeping a bit of a wide berth if he senses anything Hellish.]
Just wondering if there's any I ought to be worried about. I don't need to make any enemies, I've enough back home.
[Which is to say that if any other demons tried to start shit with Aziraphale, they'd have an enemy of Crowley, too.]

He doesn't say that, though. Instead, he tips his head, manages a slightly playful smile.]
I was thinking about telling him you baked me some biscuits.
[Ruining her reputation, right there.]
no subject
Be careful what paths you open.
( she knows that he's teasing and if he were teasing about anything other than an angel it'd go better )
But there is one thing I'll permit. You can confirm what I told him-- about Eden.
no subject
Still can't believe he couldn't figure that out himself. Great bloody idiot.
[There was a lot going on, though, and he was likely anxious about all of it, including the things back home, so Crowley will give him a pass.]
no subject
( the look she gives him is to suggest that she doesnt find the angel to be particularly smart, wouldn't expect him to. but she finishes it differently )
I don't exist in your world.
no subject
Stories of you do, though. He's spent too long with that Bible collection, he ought to branch out a bit.
no subject
Then perhaps along with-- whatever else you could remind him of that. And set those stories true.
( because she knew the bible stories. she did not appreciate them )
no subject
[He knows some things, has picked them up either from what she's told him or what he can guess, based on how she speaks on certain topics.
Not that he thinks he has a right to know, he's just saying.
Crowley shrugs.]
I'll tell him a bit, if he'd like to know more he can talk to you himself. [a beat, and:] Over the phone, maybe. Just to start.
no subject

no subject
Is this something I'll be passing along?
[Meaning, is she planning to tell him to tell Aziraphale.]
no subject
( she trusts his judgement and lies has revealed worse about her. she also trusts him enough to not be a dick about it )
no subject
Crowley almost shakes his head to dismiss the offer, but he regards her for a moment instead, then offers a wry smile.]
Were you really made from clay, or is that a metaphor?
no subject
( nor was adam. eve however had been created as the stories said. she'd assume )
A-- miracle you could say.
no subject
We ought to start a club for the lot of us without birthdays.
no subject
( and she knows several others that would count )
no subject
no subject
( despite who and what she is she doesnt actually like many of them. and the witches have kept her busy enough )
no subject
Should I feel special, then?
no subject
( though after that she had purposely sought him out for being a demon, for that shared understanding of life when forming their agreement )
Though no doubt I'll meet them eventually. Why did you ask?
no subject

no subject
Well unless they're able to cleverly mask themselves-- I haven't sensed any others. And-- there's no other enemies you should be worried about.
( not on her end anyway. she's been behaving )
no subject
[For her sake too, honestly. Lilith has dealt with enough shit in his life.
With that, though, he polishes off the rest of his drink, a flick of his fingers cleaning the glass and returning it to where it lives.]
I'll leave you to it, thanks for being, you know, reasonable about this.
[Agreeing not to start a fight with an angel, and all that.]
