"You 'communicated' with a registered sexual offender who MAPPA* is most likely going to move to a supervised environment," the demon retorted. "Obviously you need some sort of supervision yourself."

Crowley kept a hold of the laptop, debating on whether or not to put up the firewalls and parental controls right then or wait until the angel wasn't around. "I wasn't bragging," he finally said, sitting the laptop down and glowering at it as if to warn it against daring to allow any further such people to contact the angel.

The laptop's screen turned a little brighter as if to try to make amends. Crowley crossed his arms, not impressed with it, and then turned his unhappy-and-annoyed-demon look on Aziraphale. "I was warning. And I'm only going to keep teaching you if you actually start LISTENING."

*MAPPA is the Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements system in the UK. Basically it 'manages' people who have committed sexual and/or violent offenses who are living in or who are returning into the UK. **

**Crowley is partially responsible for the turn of the century surge in the use of acronyms. If you want proof, think of COBRA, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act--yes it was in the United States, but that just goes to show how far-reaching his talents are. Two of his current favorites are the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) and the popular in both the UK and US acronym for a Senior Housing Assistance Group (SHAG). Even if most of them are NBG (no bloody good). And here the angel acted as though Crowley had no appreciation of language.
