"Sorry," said Sirius, in a very small voice, surprised that Aziraphale was so open, as though he had just announced that he was a dentist, actually. He felt stupid and awkward around the angel, which wasn't a state he had much experience with. He found he didn't enjoy it very much. Sirius had always been good at not letting his nervousness show in uncomfortable situations, exuding an air of boredom and arrogance. Now, however, he was conscious of his slightly hunched posture, and the way he was fiddling with his sleeves. He immediately forced himself to stand up straight and still.
"Someone sort of referred me, but I'm not looking for a book. I was, I mean I sort of--" he swallowed. Why was this so hard? He had no idea how to start, whether to explain everything, or wait for the angel to speak, or whether this was just a bad idea all together. "I have a few questions about things." He left it at that for now.
