With his eyes on Meta, and the quiet of the Manor between them, the angel almost hadn't noticed the tearful, "Aziraphale?"
Aziraphale swung around to see the succubus about .02 seconds before she had her arms around him.
"Oh, my dear!" he cried, giving her a quick hug before attempting - and failing - to unentangle himself in any dignified fashion. "I- this isn't- would you like to take a step outside?"
He'd thought it was Crowley, for a moment. The black hair, and the colouring. Aziraphale shook his head, clearing his mind of the image, and turned back to the Metatron, hoping like heaven this wouldn't be typical of his duties abroad.
The angel bid him a "Good afternoon!" and disappeared quickly, keeping close to Ellie to hide the fact that his left hand was clasping Ellie's, leading her outside into the rain.
