Those words are repeated over in his head as he looks down at Crowley, momentarily struck silent. There’s too much that he wants to say at once, too much that he wants to do in response, but he ends up doing nothing at all.
At least at first.
It takes him a moment to work out the wire in his lips, reminding himself that he shouldn’t start raising his voice again and that he should try to speak normally to Crowley. This was, undoubtedly, also a horrifying experience for him and he would like to be mindful of that. He would, he really, really would, but it’s also one of the stupidest things that he has heard in quite some time. “Bit of an overreaction,” he echoes. He sounds a little breathless and terse.
“This coming from you? Who has apparently done all of this for the sake of what I won’t tell you?” he asks. It still sounds unreal when he says it out loud. It feels more like some sort of ridiculous joke than reality, but it was real, wasn’t it? This is the reason why Crowley risked his life? Because he couldn’t trust Aziraphale and his reasoning for not telling him?
He lets out a short, breathless, and very angry whuff of a laugh.
“Why don’t I just tell you then?” he finally offers.
