[ Aziraphale is honor-bound not to let himself that it's a bit touching, that thread of concern. Relieving, even. Julian hasn't quite got the stable community presence (for good or ill) that the two of them have managed. He floats, a bit.
But he's such a lovely man. It would be awful if he slipped through the cracks somehow. Whatever issue Aziraphale and Mister Crowley have with each other, at least it means there's one more person trying to watch out for him. As much as one can watch out for a grown adult man capable of making his own decisions, and all.
The back half of what Crowley says, though, gives him pause. It's an odd thing to have said so plainly. Joke or not. ]
I'm sure I couldn't name one. [ One never knows who's going to take what information to where. Certainly not when the other end of this conversation historically dislikes him. ] A veritable open book, me.
[ Because agreeing that this really is the best option is. Well. It's awfully depressing to admit to that. ]
