WHO: Aziraphale & Leia Organa
WHAT: Leia wants to thank the Angel for his Miracle.
WHERE: Angel/Demon central (their house)
WHEN: Early afternoon

Leia couldn’t have been more grateful for what Aziraphale was able to do - all in all it seemed an effortless gesture. A wave of his hand, as easy as swatting an irksome fly, but a more graceful. The Force was something she doubted she truly knew how far reaching its abilities and disciplines really were, but it wasn’t like this. This had been something else - as it’d been said it wasn’t a matter of simply healing, it was as if the injury had never happened at all. A miracle, apparently and she wasn’t one to scoff at something so tangible and ..well otherwise inexplicable. Alright. She’d accept miracle.

It was so soon after Luke had disappeared that she hadn't felt particularly able to stay very long once her collarbone was restored to its original state, as thankful as she’d been for his help. Still, there was something about the meticulously dressed man that’d warmed her to him nearly immediately which was rather rare for Leia, and she wanted very much to bring him a gift of something. The trouble being that there wasn’t much anything else she could think to do to show her gratitude. At first she thought she might venture through the doors and pick something that stuck out - but that could be entirely fruitless if she was presented with somewhere that didn’t have anything gift-worthy.

Eventually she settled on something she already had. A case of Toniray wine that she had brought back from her time through the doors, visiting Alderaan. Back home it was one of many extinct delicacies, lost along with her world. She grabbed a bottle and set out, returning to where to his home was, knocking lightly on the door.

Leia smiled warmly, happily enjoyed? There was no mistaking how genuine the man was in such. "Then Alderaanian tradition continues." and that was what mattered most. 'Tradition' was most definitely an embellishment - but enjoying the finest Toniray was something unique to her world.

“I suppose that’s one advantage of this place.” There were likely several of them, but she wasn’t feeling particularly generous toward Starklandia at the moment. “I’ve learned rather a lot of Earth’s traditions; most of them relating to food- and their propensity for large social gatherings for no particular reason.” She smiled because if anything it’d helped this community, it wasn’t a bad thing at all, nor was it really so different at all from her galaxy, she’d just been sheltered from it.

“Where is it you’re from?” She asked, they’d had small conversation and he’d felt a sense of faith was important. He’d not avoided answering, but he had seemed a little hesitant to speak too much on what he was able to do.

"It is always a nice thought when something like that happens, the sharing of cultures." He had always found it a rather charming part of humanity when they managed to come together for good rather than ill. It was only a shame that he didn't have something to give her in return. "I hope that tradition lives on long past this moment."

He laughed when she told him what she'd learned already of the customs of Earth. "Yes food does seem to be rather at the heart of many Earth customs." He agreed, and truth be told he appreciated that about them. Never one to turn down an excuse for a bit of celebration through food after all. "I think very often one needs a bit of an excuse for a party simply to make it through the day." Truthfully he'd felt rather the same from time to time, but then he'd popped round to one of his favorite restaurants for a small meal and his spirits were immediately lifted.

"Earth as well I'm afraid, my dear." He told her with a small smile - "Though from what I gather a different version than many of the others in this place." Which had been a fascinating thing to learn, that they could be from the same place and not. "England though, is where I've made my home for the last several decades." It was most comfortable there, his book shop was there, and most importantly Crowley had been there.

There was a nod, to suggest so. “Memories count.” She added to that in a warm tone, as Aziraphale hoped it should live on longer than just the bottle he held. “Yours now, as much as mine.” Another matter of significance, perhaps he wasn’t from her galaxy, but it was one more who meant something as simple as the taste of Toniray wasn't forgotten, so quickly.

“I’m just as likely to attend one as the next.” They were a guilty pleasure, of sorts. Even if it was more about being a part of it, than truly engaging. But, she had gotten better, a little? Perhaps. “It’s nice- that people care about community morale-. Could it be they’re half the reason this world works as well as it does?” It was a half-tease of course, no social gatherings weren’t exactly the key to a functioning group such as this, but Leia wouldn’t be surprised if that wasn’t part of it.

“The abilities of those on Earth- or multiple Earths, seem very varied.” From the wormhole traveller who seemed quite normal, to another she’d witnessed manipulating fire. Not quite certain if it was a sort of apology, to suggest there was something ordinary about Earth, she smiled all the same. From what she’d gathered, it didn’t seem so, but what he said made her think all the same. “I’ve heard talk about different versions of worlds- having something to do with why were here- not something that was greatly explored where I'm from.” Pocket dimensions, was the word she’d heard thrown about.

"Indeed, they certainly do." He agreed as Leia pointed out that memories counted for keeping traditions alive. Certainly now that it was a memory of his it would out live perhaps any life that Leia had foreseen for it.

He chuckled and lifted his shoulders as he gave her teasing suggestion just a touch of consideration. "It might be, to tell you the truth. The party that was held for our arrival really did make Crowley and I both see this place much more warmly." He told her, "And if you can make yourself a bit of fun every now and again, things are always just a bit easier to endure." Aziraphale himself was a master of finding a bit of pleasure in even the most mundane of situations after all, so he understood that mentality all too well.

"Indeed," He agreed, they didn't have anyone like some of the townspeople here back in the world he was from. "In truth, where I'm from abilities are not something most have at all." He confessed. After all he was not most. "No it's not something we've had much exposure to where I'm from either." He added of the idea of multiple versions of their worlds. As far as he'd known before arriving here was that there was simply the Universe, not the multiverse as it were. "It's an interesting thought, all very ineffable really."
