Elaine simply arrived minutes after Aziraphale without preparation or dwelling too deeply in the news she had received. Oh, well, the Armageddon was stopped, but those weren’t the interesting bit of information she cared to listen. Another Antichrist was in existence and this one Lucifer seemed to be aware about. Why he had never said a word about this? She had the right to know about how many cousins were in hiding. If it was so easy for angels to have kids, why did Sandalphon had to - mildly put - violate her real parents for thousands generations for her to born, like a miracle and a sacrilege against everything.
Maybe they aren’t half angels, Elaine thought, recalling Damien Thorn. He was Lucifer’s son and yet lacked the angelic aura his father had. There was power and will, but there wasn’t the essence Sandalphon had looked in order to create an angelic army to storm into Heaven’s Gates.
Angels. Elaine thought crossly, but she was going to see one of them now, wasn’t she? Aziraphale was his name. He didn’t seem too horrible yet. No trickery that would get her killed or plans to cut her into pieces. She gave him the benefit of the doubt. It was very easy to pinpoint an angel in LA. Demons were a lot, angels? Their population was close to three.
After arriving to the restaurant doors, she smiled sweetly and asked for the table where her uncle’s former colleague was waiting for her. They wouldn’t able to resist the kind and stereotypically angelic request of a blind girl. At least she thanked them earnestly and secretly feeling terrible about the manipulation. The waiter led her to the table, growing in concern for the seemly vulnerability of the crippled blindness. Elaine could sense it.
“I’ll be all right,” she assured the poor man, waiting to him to take his leave. He was going to look for a menu in Braille. Elaine kept smiling until he left. Turning, she glanced at the sitting angel. It wouldn’t do any good. She couldn’t see him. “Aziraphale?” she asked out of courtesy, extending her hand to shake his. “I’m Elaine Belloc.”
