12th Book || The Principality Returns [video and action]
[Aziraphale wakes up in the middle of a hedge and looks around blearily. It only takes him a few moments after prying himself from the plant and pulling off a couple leaves from his jumper for him to recognize where he was. His (unneeded) breath catches in his throat and he feels mildly ill as the realization dawns on him how close he was to forgetting himself, forgetting who he became here. He wonders mildly how long he's been away, but judging by the temperature it seems like it could only be a month or so. Or perhaps he should start tacking years onto that.
He makes his way back to the mansion, a twig still stuck in his hair, and climbs up the the sixth floor, room 002. He tries the doorknob and it opens easily for him. Inside, the room looks exactly like he left it, if devoid of his book collection he had gathered over the near year he had been here before. He lets out a little sigh of relief.
He settles down in his old tartan wingback chair and pulls out his device from the pocket he normally keeps it in, smiling to know it's still there and then turns on the video. The angel's face is awkwardly off center, but he's definitely there with a smile to greet everyone once again.]
It appears I have been away for quite some time. I cannot rightly say that I was aware of the passage of time. I suppose... I suppose I was home for a short time. It was good to see my shop again, but... But I must say I'm glad to be back. And, more importantly, I'm glad to be back where I can be with Crowley. Crowley, if you're hearing this, please come to my room.
[A brief pause allows him to collect his thoughts some before he continues again.]
I hope to reconnect with many of the beings I knew before my... disappearance. And I do so hope that there aren't too many that have left as well. Please let me know that you are all safe and if there's anything I can do for you.
[He smiles one last time before he shuffles to turn off the video, anxiously hoping that Crowley is still in Wonderland.]

1/2
2/3 i lied
[And yet there he is, plain as day.]
3/3
[No mushy feelings now.]
[Just gonna casually and suavely and very coolly run out his door, down the hall and knock on Aziraphale's door without even the remotest shred of desperation yeah nailed it.]
no subject
You're still here. I'm so glad.
no subject
Took you bloody well long enough.
no subject
I'm sorry, my dear. How, er... How long was I gone?
no subject
A month.
[Which, when you say it out loud, doesn't actually seem all that long, especially not for occult beings like them. Hell, they've gone a whole century without seeing each other.]
[But it's not really the amount of time the angel was gone, it's the fact that he was gone at all. It's the fact that Crowley kept expecting to check the angel's room one day and find it back to the Wonderland default. It's the fact that even if Aziraphale did return, there was a good chance he wouldn't remember anything.]
[Which reminds him,]
You remember everything? This place and all of it?
no subject
[He blinks at the questions and slowly nods.] I feel like I do at least. I remember this place and I remember just how much I love you.
no subject
no subject
I'm so sorry I was gone. [Not that he had any choice in the matter, but still...]
no subject
no subject
[He leans over and kisses the demon gently, first on the corner of the mouth and then properly. His time away from here back home was... Well, now that he can remember everything, it was disheartening.]
I don't ever want to be away from you again.
no subject
I don't intend to let you.
[Crowley probably won't even let him out of sight for about a week.]
How long was it for you?

Still, there's something he said...]
You were home, actually sent back home, but you- you're glad to be back here? In Wonderland?
no subject
Ah, yes. I mean, yes, Wonderland can be a bit frustrating at times, but... Well, this is the only place Crowley and I can and do have a more intimate relationship.
no subject
I'm happy for you then, you and Crowley both. Are you from different worlds?
no subject
no subject
It's good that you've found each other in here, then. But don't you miss the rest of your home?
no subject
no subject
How long have you been together?
no subject
no subject
You're an angel?
no subject
no subject
Well that explains why dating wouldn't be easy back home. I guess your bosses wouldn't be happy.
no subject
[He thinks for a moment.] It's odd how comfortable I've gotten with admitting my species in this place. I suppose it's because there are so many others of my kind and of Crowley's. And we did have that one... Er... There were a number of people who saw our wings not that long ago...
