[this is weird. this is too weird. archer turns the bottle over in his hands when he's brought it in and opened it. lucky it's from ray or it would've gone right into the garbage.
but... it's still too weird. he digs around in the kitchen drawers for that stupid shitty radio they're given in lieu of a phone and taps around on it until he finds ray.
[ Ray doesn't even sound cranky on the line, if a bit harried though, as if he's doing several things at once while he answers. He laughs, then continues brightly: ]
What d'you mean? [ A little confused. ] You're my oldest friend, Archer, why wouldn't I?
[ Then, after a pause, clicking his tongue: ]
Ohh, I know what this is. You don't have to feel bad for not gettin' me anything, it's okay. I know how money's still tight for you, bein' jobless and all...
Please know that it is not in my nature to threaten. I am a peaceful being whose purpose on Earth is to love, but my previous occupations burdened me with the responsibility of defending — using physical force if necessary — and I can assure you my training was top-notch.
That said:
If you ever hurt Crowley again, even in jest, you and I are going to have a problem.
[So incensed is Aziraphale by this response that he can't stop himself from typing, even as he announces in Crowley's company that "I'll show you a bloody fop you American oaf" — ]
No, but would you like to throw down against a Principality of Heaven and meet God ahead of schedule?
[he doesn't bother answering until he's home-- it's not a long walk and it's too cold out to bother with getting the wrist radio out and fumbling with the tiny-ass keypad in the cold.]
I'm not a child PS if you take a while to reply to this I know why
[it takes him a little while to get back to this for-- a bunch of reasons. he hadn't... realised rapunzel had been taken; archer'd just assumed she was Out with cass, maybe, some of her other friends. he's not her caretaker, so he hadn't checked in.
he's not sure if he feels guilty about that.]
I'm fine Rapunzel's gone I'm trying to work out how
delivery
The gift tag reads:
Archer,
This was Avery's idea, so you can thank him.
Happy Holidays.
It's always convenient to blame an angel.]
Re: delivery
he should probably say thanks.
but he gets too drunk and forgets where the bourbon came from. whatever.]
—XMAS GIFT (from robbie'd!Ray).

Someone took Aziraphale's texting rights away when he saw the angel's thumbs getting ready to unleash a firestorm in capslock.
