"Ssssure," he finally replied, trying for nonchalance. Crowley needed to seem perfectly fine because otherwise the angel would read him like a book and know he was planning something.*
*And he WAS planning something, even if he didn't know what yet. He merely knew he had to make certain he never betrayed Aziraphale.
