Aziraphale jumped slightly at the sudden anger in Liam's voice. It was so difficult to mentally separate human anger and angelic wrath. One of those instincts that he wasn't really supposed to have. And Liam, well, Aziraphale didn't know him well by any means; he didn't know what Liam's anger meant, or would lead to.

He managed to keep his reaction to that slight jump and a shiver, tucking his hands back into his pockets, and resolutely did not meet his companion's eyes. “I didn't mean to imply - “ He hesitated, fighting with himself. “I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't be.” Because he was, too, sort of; down underneath the guilt and the fear, he had a rock-hard certainty that this was not as it should be. It was, in fact, Wrong. Still, he was so unsure of himself – what he was, what he had been, what he should be – that all he could manage was a vague shrug and, “You should be angry.” Nothing more articulate than that.

His fingers tingled with fear and adrenaline at the word 'results'. “What do you mean?” he asked, not entirely sure he wanted to know the answer, but too curious to be able to help it. Liam hadn't acted like this before – for good reason, obviously, he hadn't been Liam, not entirely – but he was experiencing a distressing amount of excitement and forward motion and he couldn't not pursue this to its natural conclusion.
