[ Aziraphale has patented a lot of ways of saying Crowley's name over the years. The irritated, the long-suffering, the offended, the hinting-at-a-favor, the quietly very pleased. Perhaps none so weirdly specific as the tone he uses when he's in the middle of something that he frankly doesn't care for and Crowley has suddenly appeared.
Broad-scale relief. Just in general. He can't say he likes their odds of having a magical solution to This Whole Situation, but it's usually better to have Crowley with him than not. Add to that a layer of genuine surprise: not for the fact that Crowley has in fact turned up, because after a few millennia Aziraphale just kind of half-expects it. More because he didn't already notice that Crowley was here.
Then again, he thinks, as the spirit he'd stopped next to straight-up vanishes, could be a bit of interference.
Well. No matter. There's a demon in the fog who actually is aware of the surroundings and speaking to him, and that takes immediate precedence.
He can actually do something about that. Off he goes. Demon hunting but like in a loving way. Perks of having not yet been out here for 84 years. ]
