[ Small victories. Very, very small, when there's only so much that getting off his feet can net him in terms of relief.
Aziraphale wishes he had anything more concrete to offer for it. Maybe a renewed discussion for after Crowley's had some time to recover a bit. Gotten a good night's sleep. There's a little wiggle room in near any inhuman doctrine about what is and isn't an acceptable payment.
