" you look like you could use a nice cup of tea. "
for a long moment, there is silence . zaphiel putters about as quietly as she can manage, accompanied only by the faint sounds of shuffling and the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops against the bookshop windows . in spite of the umbrella that she's in the process of daintily packing away , water clings to every gentle curl of hair , beaded on the shoulders of her cardigan and her perfect little patent leather shoes . the silence only swells as she steps further inside , her reflection of youth only marred by the stern expression she holds . brushing a few golden locks from her eyes , she peers first out the window , then further into the bookshop , scanning every corner in sight for an unexpected audience . and then , almost comically so , the persona breaks . heaving such a large sigh for such a small body , she finally looks to @whitewingaed and smiles . " oh , i could . i rather could , my dear aziraphale . you wouldn't happen to have some of that lovely chai left , would you ? with the star anaise and marshmallow and all ? "
