[Rich gives Aziraphale a warm, surprisingly patient grin. Usually he's far more eager than this, but he knows Aziraphale needs him to not be as pushy right now.]
I think it's the best choice too. But I understand being a little nervous about it. I was really nervous the first time around... I mean, no matter what, it seems really important here, so I don't want to mess up.
I think we can head over there now... and I'll give you space once it's done, okay?
[Just as long as Aziraphale doesn't push him out like Jeremy did...]
[He does have a tendency to push people out when he gets a little overwhelmed. And back home he'd literally just come to terms with walking away from heaven, making his own little team, creating their own little side... so he's definitely still not used to getting close to people, or humanity in general. It will take a lot more time to get used to it.
But this is the right thing, he knows it's the best thing for both of them. And so, while he may need a moment to stop himself from freaking out, he will work hard to make sure his new Bonded doesn't feel ignored.]
Let's go then. Let me- let me get something for you to eat, on the way? [Food = love, obviously.]
