[That earns a quiet little chuckle.]

Glad to hear I've worked my way into your good books.

[He says it lightly, but he does mean it, if only for Aziraphale's sake.]

Oh, you're not quite off the hook yet.

( though she's much fonder saying that, a barely concealed smile on her lips, a little more like a scolding mother than someone on the other side )

But I judged what you are not who you are, something I don't know I would say about many.

( every other demon was dreadful )

I can be patient.

[Just a hint of tease in that; it took a few millennia for Aziraphale to stop treating him with some wariness, so he hardly expects much more so soon.]

And no need to worry, I'm used to the judgement.

[It's a little bit pointed. Because of course an angel would judge him by what he is, someone forbid he not be a monster like God made him.]

Perhaps but it's a unique situations that we're in.

( meeting people from other worlds nevermind this city )

Something that needs to be carefully handled.

Mm, I'm not the only demon, though I'm probably the one most inclined to play nice with an angel. Ex-angel.

[It's a warning more than anything.]

There are witches, too, suppose you could call them Satanists. Would be best not to let them know what you were.

( she opend her mouth to say something but then closes it again, a little surprised by what he tells her )

I don't plan on letting anyone know. As far as anyone else is concerned I'm mortal.

( though she'd end up surprised at how many people here would be able to read something more from her )

I assume that they know what you are. Aziraphale too?

Fair warning, plans don't always work out well, place like this.

[Not even considering people like him who can read into power or divinity, the city just doesn't really respect secrets.]

Think most people who know me know what I am. Not so much for him. He's a bit more subtle, try to contain your shock.

[Considering Aziraphale tends to blend into the background, all soft and beige, while Crowley stands out.]

( she's not even considering that the city would know what she is )

Well, if he's managed it then it's possible.

( shockingly she's also subtle and very experienced at just being human, having those years of mortal existence )

Did you want people to know?

[Crowley just makes a non-committal sound; she'll figure it out for herself eventually.]

Figured I might as well lead with it. If they're going to be arseholes about it, I'd rather know from the beginning.

[Better than maybe starting to like someone only for them to say something shitty because of what he is.]

Think the only person I've had real trouble with is the priest, and he's a bloody lunatic, so I'm not too cut up about it.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

( that a demon would have trouble with a priest, how novel. though she also has yet to meet said priest to know what he's really like )

But... it's nice that you've had a positive response.

( or not negative. and it's weird still to her that she's speaking so positively about a demon but... maybe it's easier not thinking about that part too much )

Well, it helps that I'm utterly charming.

[He says it as a joke, but there's some truth to it. Perhaps not utterly, but Crowley knows how to be friendly and approachable when he needs to, and it's served him well here.]

( she frowns a little, slightly suspicious of whether he means the kind of charming he's been or something more demonic power-wise.

but she's smart enough not to voice it )

It's also telling of the people here, how accepting they are or how little they care. Though perhaps they have bigger concerns.

( sex )

[He seems impervious to that doubt; he's been on the end of that sort of look a million times, he's immune.]

Mm, suppose when you're being manipulated into doing weird sex stuff, a demon isn't all that interesting. Not to mention lots of folks here are some flavor of supernatural, anyway.

It's certainly an unusual bunch.

( and the varieties of supernatural that they have here will end up surprising her )

If this weren't our reality it I'd say it was curious that we're all brought together in a way.
