It was fairly common knowledge that Michael was smitten with Gabriel. Anyone with eyes could see it, especially considering Michael's own eyes were incredibly expressive. Hence Aziraphale found it quite shocking that Michael would be so... brazen with Gabriel.
However, it was also fairly common knowledge that Gabriel did not return Michael's affections. Maybe that was why Michael was a bit snippy?
Regardless, Aziraphale cleared his throat and loudly interjected, "I must agree that I would prefer to be able to defend myself. I promise I can take care of my new flaming sword much better now, knowing what I know about the problems of losing it." Plus he doubted there would be any persons in desperate need of a flaming sword, so long as he stayed out of any third-world countries. "It would be nice to be proactive for a change."
