He was still in shock when he landed, arms wrapping around him, taking the brunt of the fall from him, letting Aziraphale get his balance. So it took a moment for the words - and kiss - to sink in.
"Hermes?" he asked in shock, eyes sharpening at the new, and unexpected, face. "A nymph? I..." he glanced around, clinging to Hermes and still wretchedly disoriented, for Crowley. He could only see the other dancers, and he stumbled over the remains of the branch. Aziraphale miracled away the wreckage, barely sparing a glance at it, and then turned back to Hermes.
"Hello," he tried, feeling foolish. "Is... this a party of some sort?" He'd gotten his balance back, barely, and tried to pull away a little. Being caught was very, very kind of the god, but the kiss was making him blush deeply, made worse when Aziraphale stumbled over the realization that he was naked to boot. His own clothes were ripped, it was true, but not to this extent.

"You're naked," he informed him, stupidly.
