"Yes," he replies. "I'd probably have to talk to the Metatron instead, so you couldn't be around when I do it." But he had to talk to her, it was urgent. It was about his judgment, and why wouldn't she be there to do it? Why would she leave it to some other angels, who were not privy to her plan?
"And I keep telling you, the plan is ineffable. This could have been part of the plan. But so could we be two sacrificial pawn pieces in it." Just a six-thousand year story that comes to an end tomorrow. One, not two, because it's not Aziraphale's story without Crowley in it.
"But I'll have to try it. She must have mercy." He was always the idealist, the optimist. Despite it all, he still loved Her, how could he not? She made him, she made this Earth, she made Crowley. And if they were a disappointment then Aziraphale would take responsibility, would offer to make them better instead of wiping the slate clean. And they could do it, together, they could remake the world and be allowed to keep it. Why wouldn't she want that?
