[It's okay, grumpy grump. They'll buy you another plant.]

Because it could lead to fights or conflicts of interest.

[Buuuut don't think he hasn't noticed that there still isn't an answer from Crowley.]

So why is your list so long? Is there a lot of things you're not allowed to do then?

[onlyanapple]

...So? It's normal, that. A group can't be perfect and best buddies all the time.

[Buggery. ]

Well, yes. Demon and all. Hell has a lot of rules.

[ahappylie]

[He was going to protest that whole "can't be best buddies" thing, but you know what?

Demon takes a whoooole lot more precedence.]

....?

[He blinks and tilts his head. Reality bending powers, talking to plants, and now demon?]

I've never met a real demon before. But I didn't realize that they had rules. ...Aren't they supposed to break them?

[onlyanapple]

Now you have, congrats.

[Though how much of a 'real demon' is something even he has to ponder these days. ]

And we are, generally. But Hell has its own rules and it frowns on those being broken.

[ahappylie]

[He smiles and bows his head slightly. Congratulations indeed. He was often called a demon himself, but he never thought he'd live to see a day when real ones just wandered about and talked about houseplants.]

Well, that's unfortunate. I suppose you can't escape rules no matter where you go.

[He reaches out to touch the plant's withering leaves again.]

Even for little plants.

[onlyanapple]

And oh how I've tried.

[He gives a disgusted grunt, holding the plant out to him. ]

Oh, fine, take the blessed thing. Just don't tell the others.

[ahappylie]

[NEW PET: ACQUIRED.

He blinks for a moment and then turns his back to the other plants, reaching out to cradle the potted one to his chest.]

It will be our secret from them and the others. I promise.

[Although, now he wonders how he'll be able to raise it without sunlight. ...maybe gratitude will keep it alive.]

But you won't miss it?

[onlyanapple]

Good, it better be.

[Ugh. This is going to happen to all his crappy plants now, isn't it? He can see it. ]

Not at all, it's useless to me.

[ahappylie]

[Probably. Okita doesn't like to see things get discarded, even crappy plants.

He looks down at the little plant in his arms, wondering how long it'll stay alive.]

For a demon, you're quite a bit nicer than I thought.

[Albeit begrudgingly nice, he's still a nice demon.]

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley takes that compliment about as well as if he'd been spat in the face. He grimaces, shuddering his shoulders. ]

Ugh. I give you my plant and you just insult me. That's rude.

[ahappylie]

[Oh so it's opposite day in Crowley Land. He understands.]

Would it be better if I said you were the most terrifying demon I ever met then?

[onlyanapple]

[It sure is. It's so fun. So confusing. This is his life now.]

...Yeah, it might make me feel better.

[ahappylie]

[Crowley, your life, man. Your life. It used to be simple what with apocalypses and anti-Christs, but now it's just this insanity.]

Well then you are absolutely terrible and terrifying. The worst creature I have ever had the misfortune of meeting.

[He says, but he's still smiling. Does that make Crowley's boo boo in his heart feel better?]

[onlyanapple]

[His life is continually insane. Help him. Yes. That does help. He feels less of an abject failure now. ]

That was extremely patronising, but I'll take it.

[ahappylie]

[He laughs a little.]

As long as it helped.

[Crowley has been nothing but nice, albeit a little weird since they met so how else is he supposed to compliment/insult him other than by being patronizing? Be a scarier demon, bro.]

I'll be sure to compliment you on being terrible more often.

[He taps the leaves of his newly acquired plant and smiles.]

This little thing was certainly scared nearly to death by being near you.

[onlyanapple]

[He can't, he sucks at it. ]

Well, good, it was supposed to.

[ahappylie]

[Goddamn, Crowley. You had one job.]

Maybe the tactic worked too well. Not everyone is strong enough to endure ongoing terror day in and day out.

[onlyanapple]

[Story of his life. ]

You're damn right they aren't.

[ahappylie]

[Starting with giving away the sword because they looked cold, huh.]

Well, if this one doesn't seem to get any better in my care, I'll hand it back to you. Perhaps then we'll know that it just wasn't suited to space at all.

[onlyanapple]

[Hey now, that was all Aziraphale. ]

Ugh, sure, if you say so. You enjoy your new plant friend. I'm going to go open my bar now.

[ahappylie]

[Ah right. Still though.]

Mmhm~ I'll be sure to. Maybe I'll even name it after you.

[He's teasing.

OR IS HE]

[onlyanapple]

Ugh, please don't.

[And off he goes, to wash the nice off him with booze. ]
