Prometheus
Aziraphale had heard a rumor, about a book. At a shop other than his, which was rather vexxing. So he made inquiries about the location, and appeared there the next day after putting out the "closed indefinitely" sign on his own shop. (The sign had two sides; the other said "open temporarily.")
He walked in, hearing a little bell chime, and looked around. "Hello?"

Prometheus nodded in understanding.

"Of course, make yourself comfortable. ...And no, you're not imposing," he assured him, filling the teapot and putting a tray together. "I was just digging around in the back rooms."

"I'm not sure," The titan admitted, bringing the tray over and putting it on a small table between two chairs. "I feel like I have something that I might need, but I'm not sure what it is or what I need it for."
It was hard to put into words the feelings he sometimes had. These nagging thoughts that wouldn't let him be, and were too abstract to use like any sort of map.

"It happens to me more often than I'd like," the titan admitted, pouring them each a cup and then nudging the sugar towards the other man. "It's fine though, things have a way of falling into place, don't they?"

"Thank you," Prometheus said, nodding once and then sipping his tea. It was a simple reply, but sounded genuine to the ear. The titan was remarkably good at that sort of thing- Expressing much while saying very little.

"Hard to say. There are beings that have outlived us both, no doubt. Things from before any gods we know," Prometheus mused. "But they don't tend to sit down for tea, in my experience," he added with a smile.

Prometheus raised a brow at 'our table', wondering who the other diner might be.

"And who do you share your plate with?" Prometheus asked.

"Another angel?" Prometheus asked, sipping his tea.

The titan looked terribly amused by that.
"I see," he replied.

"I'm not a judge of anything, least of all right and wrong," Prometheus pointed out. "That's between you and yours, I think. Personally, I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't limit the company we keep based on social norms."
