Planning to ssscare anyone, angel?

[ Crowley's eyes flash with amusement. ]

You know I'm alwayssss up for it.

[goodoldfashioned]

Oh, no one in particular. Just... customers sometimes have these strange ideas, and I'd like to gently discourage them.

[He starts carving up the pumpkin, a little delicately, trying not to get any pumpkin chunks on his clothing.]

[goodtobebad]

Like, wanting to buy a book?

[ We definitely can't have that, for sure. ]

[goodoldfashioned]

Exactly my point. They think they can just walk up and start touching all the pages and who knows where their hands have been!

[He's glad we're all in agreement here.]

[goodtobebad]

[ Crowley manages to snicker a bit, even in his current form, slithering up and around Aziraphale’s wrist affectionately. ]

If you need me to ssscare them off, all you have to do is asssk.

[goodoldfashioned]

[He pats Crowley as he slithers. Good snake, best friend.]

Duly noted. We'll see how the pumpkin manages, and go on from there, shall we?

[goodtobebad]

[ Aziraphale is very warm, which is always something that Crowley likes about him, but especially when he’s snakey. ]

It’ll probably jusssst encourage them.

[goodoldfashioned]

[Thank you, he tries to be. Especially since snakey Crowley is a relatively rare Crowley to see.]

You think so? [Hmm.] Perhaps the customers will be so distracted by the pumpkin, they'd forget about the books entirely.

[goodtobebad]

I sssssuppossse we’ll find out.

[ He gives the angel a snakey grin, slithering back up his arm. ]

[goodoldfashioned]

[He giggles a little as he goes past the elbow -- he's a bit ticklish, it can't be helped -- before smiling right back.]

Mind yourself, I've still got a vegetable to carve and I'd very much like to avoid accidentally nicking you.
