So Aziraphale had known Adam well enough, and just not bothered discussing it. He certainly had to give the angel points for secrecy. It sounded like something he might do. "Yes, I know. I saw him right before he left. We had been working at cross-purposes in the city, and I saw him frequently while he was there." For some reason he felt that he should explain the relationship to the boy. Almost as though he felt a test in this conversation, which was probably his startled imagination playing tricks on him.
Okay, no jokes with the Antichrist. Right. He started fiddling with a cufflink, which had come undone because he had decided it would. He needed to do something with his hands. The edges of his sleeve turned gold as he did it; that happened sometimes when he got anxious. Really, the other beings did not concern him in the slightest, as the theoretical prospect of Adam was far more worrisome. "I had noticed many of the energy signatures," he confessed lightly. "Do people normally get hurt here, for you to make that warning?" It was a strange thing for him to say, surely.
He nodded in regard to the room. "That should do." He stopped himself in time, though. "Er, can I ask who my neighbors are?"
