Castiel placed the tub of ice cream on the bench. It was not for him, it was Aziraphale. He knew it made humans feel better at these times. It was apparent from the television programs he had been encouraged to watch. There was always ice cream after love faded or was torn away. He did not really understand it but he saw it was so. He knew Aziraphale needed comfort. The one he loved was no longer in Colligo. No longer reachable. It did not matter that Crowley was likely to be safe. He was somewhere Aziraphale couldn't reach. Castiel put a spoon down in front of Aziraphale. "You need to eat," he said firmly.
