WHO: Aziraphale and Crowley
WHAT: Another arrival
WHERE: The center of town
WHEN: Today

The end of the world, it turned out was not quite as traumatic as one might have expected of such a thing. Sure there had been some highs and lows, and things might have gotten just a little bit hot there for a moment, but in the end life continued on the way it always had - the sun came up each day and then set each evening and most importantly they were both still there.

And of course there were still crepes, the world simply would have been not worth saving without them. And so when Crowley had asked if he'd enjoy popping to his favorite little shop in Paris for some, Aziraphale had thought that was perhaps one of his better ideas.

"Has it moved?" He asked when they rematerialized in a place that was certainly not Paris." At least not in this century, or truly any century that Aziraphale had ever seen it in.

"This is not right." Not at all, and though he could be reticent about many things, a mistake had been made here and he didn't know where they were now, which for an Angel who had spent all of existence traveling the globe to be in a place he did not know was simply unheard of. "What have you done?"

What now was a very good question, indeed, and Crowley was frustrated to realize that he didn't have a good answer for or about it at all. He didn't want to say that -- a fretful Aziraphale was his least favorite kind and he'd rather spare him the nerves for now.

So he thought about it for a moment, because it was unexpected and while Crowley wasn't bad at making plans, he also was usually in places where he had something to work with. "Well," he said after a long moment of consideration. "I suppose we consider ourselves on a short holiday for the time being and find which of those little houses are empty."

This was not quite the holiday that Aziraphale would have chosen if he'd had the choice - maybe a trip to the al-Qarawiyyin library, it had been some time since he'd stopped in there after all. Paris of course, even if he wasn't entirely focused on the crepes at the moment the French truly do have a way with food. But here they were now, in some place entirely removed from their world it seemed, cut off from everything he might have considered important for a holiday, but then - there was Crowley.

And that meant something as well.

"I suppose you're right." He agreed. They might not be in a place he'd have chosen, or in a time he'd have picked, but his companion was the only one in existence that Aziraphale was eager to spend his time with. So in that regard he supposed that Crowley was correct, they could count this as a bit of a holiday and make the most of this time and this place together. "Let's go then, I think there's one this way that is empty," He said feeling around just a bit, just to get them going.
