[ his judgment with jon is not the best.. but it's worlds better than it used to be, and he's learned how to be more assertive with him, at least. ... so here's hoping. ]

I'm trying to be! I don't suppose you'd take me back if after three months Jon and I find out we can't do the contract thing?

I think we're hoping to find our own place eventually. I need to figure out employment first, though. I refuse to work in the same building as Elias.

You know I would.

[He's not sure if that's a joke or not, so he decides to tread on the safe side and make sure Martin knows it's always an option, if things with Jon are too complicated for them to contract.]

Sensible call, really, that man's a bastard. What'd your skill set, aside from corralling men possessed by eldritch entities? I could ask around, see if I know anyone that's hiring.

Yeah, I guess I do know that.
You really are one of the best parts of my life, you know. Not to get too gross and emotional.

He's honestly the biggest evil cliche I've ever experienced.
Would you? I'd really appreciate it.
I don't have any formal education, unfortunately, but I was a librarian for years, and then an assistant archivist (which included a lot of research), then a personal assistant that wound up doing all the bookkeeping and scheduling and payroll and budgeting instead of my boss anyway.

[Oh.

Crowley stares at the message for a few moments, getting a little emotional about it, enough that he ends up with Aziraphale at his side, a comforting hand on his back.]

You're going to give me hives with talk like that

[Which is his way of saying it is kind of emotional but he appreciates it he's just bad at saying anything genuine back, especially over text.]

I wonder if Lilith could use any help with Venia, she's only really got Pru with her, and I think she just does the magic side of things. Not sure how she'd feel about a mortal getting involved with her business, but I'll ask and see

Oh, I'm just warming up. You've been without me over a month, after all, I have to ease you back into it. :)

I don't think Miss Lilith likes me much, but I'd be happy to help if she needs/wants it. A job's a job.

You're awful, I'm blocking this number from contacting me

[He isn't.]

I'm sure she likes you just fine. If not, though, I'll still ask around to see what's available. Imagine I have more contacts than Jon does, or at least ones that actually like me

[Be nice.]

It's fine, I'll just show up at your door with my knitting. Once I find it, anyway.

I was going to tell you to be nice but honestly you're right and I can't argue a fact.

Sorry, that's what I get for packing boxes with magic, doesn't lead to a proper labelling system

I'd not say it to his face, if that gets me out of any trouble

I'm just grateful you kept stuff. [ not that martin's ever had much, but it was.. nice to come back and not have to start over again from scratch. and there had been gifts from crowley and jon that he hadn't wanted to lose. ]

As if you've ever been in trouble with me.
I do appreciate it, though.

Didn't feel right to just toss it all out

[Even if he'd known for certain Martin wouldn't come back, he's still been tragically sentimental.]

Once or twice, maybe, if we're talking the fun kind

[Is flirting allowed? This is such a strange situation, he doesn't know where he stands.]

I've been playing nice with Jon. I'll never like him, but I'll be civil.

Feel free to cause that kind of trouble any time you like.

[ if crowley's still interested, anyway. he's not entirely sure, given martin's absence. ]

That's all I could ask for. You're both important to me, you know?

Glad to have your permission for causing trouble

[This is so dumb, he's so cross at himself for being awkward.]

If the angel can be civil with Lilith, I can manage with Jon

I'm magnanimous like that.

In fairness, Miss Lilith hasn't caused nearly the amount of trouble Jon has.

Sure, but Jon's just an arsehole. Bit more difficult with angels and demons

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Did you know another version of her at home?

Nah, I knew Adam pretty well, and he'd have mentioned her if she'd existed, I think
