[He looks a bit wry at that statement, because expectations don't get them very far here. Unasked for information is often the name of the game.

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.]

[sathan]

( she doesn't sigh but her expression manages to convey it instead, lilith drinks a little more )

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.

[demonicmiracle]

[He's taking this as seriously as possible when he's deliriously happy.]

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.]

[sathan]

Well--

( 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.

[demonicmiracle]

[Crowley apparently had their shared brain cell that day.]

Stories of you do, though. He's spent too long with that Bible collection, he ought to branch out a bit.

[sathan]

( she also didn't give him her name right until the end, teasing knowledge without giving him it. she didn't want the angel knowing her )

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 )

[demonicmiracle]

You know, I'm still not sure what is and isn't true.

[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.

[sathan]

( 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.

[demonicmiracle]

[He just gives her a bland look right back; she's a big girl, she can handle talking to an angel on the phone.]

Is this something I'll be passing along?

[Meaning, is she planning to tell him to tell Aziraphale.]

[sathan]

That would depend on what it is you ask.

( she trusts his judgement and lies has revealed worse about her. she also trusts him enough to not be a dick about it )

[demonicmiracle]

[Ah, right.

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?

[sathan]

I was created by the false god. There have been those made from clay but not me.

( nor was adam. eve however had been created as the stories said. she'd assume )

A-- miracle you could say.

[demonicmiracle]

[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.

[sathan]

There would likely be more here than we realise. Or those more timeless than they seem.

( and she knows several others that would count )

[demonicmiracle]

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.

[sathan]

I haven't purposely sought out any demons.

( despite who and what she is she doesnt actually like many of them. and the witches have kept her busy enough )

[demonicmiracle]

[That doesn't help much with his faint concern, but it does make him smile.]

Should I feel special, then?

[sathan]

I met you through-- different circumstances.

( 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?

[demonicmiracle]

Right you are.

[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.]

[sathan]

( her? causing trouble and making enemies? )

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 )

[demonicmiracle]

Imagine there's some that could, but that's good to hear.

[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.]
