[ Oh. Well, there's that puzzle piece he was missing.
Strange how something can make sense and still not make sense. Because it does add up-- the tension, the irritability, the emotional fraying, the you were gone, I couldn't find you. That's very much on brand with the apocalypse. And if Aziraphale had woken up here in the middle of all that, of course he'd be just as upset. That much puts a lot in order.
It's just that how things wound up was hardly forgettable.
The fog maybe, again, that's all he can think. Full of wandering lost souls, starting to put a dull ache behind his eyes, a turn in his stomach, maybe for Crowley it's... it's done something to muddle his memory. Which might be easier to try to figure out once they get out of the fog, which Aziraphale isn't inclined to up and walk off to do with some broad hope that Crowley will follow and keep up.
If he's not bringing Crowley with him, there's not much point in doing it. He couldn't risk losing him out here any more than he was willing to give up on Earth. ]
No, I didn't 'miss the memo,' Crowley. [ The scrap of familiar offense that he finds burns out instantly. He's got bigger problems, and they're all related to being worried. ] That was days ago.
[ Like two whole days. Even Aziraphale couldn't mess up his timeline on it too badly. ]
