[ Aziraphale will let the rude noise slide just this once. He can allow it.
It's his business how much that has to do with the situation at large and trying to be more mindful through it, and what it has to do with Crowley being unfairly endearing. As life has at certain times in the past possibly involved coping with Crowley being endearing. ]
Yes, well. Good. [ Being known is sort of the bane of his existence in terms of avoiding things or getting away with them, but he'll take a slight-worrying, mostly-knowing mix over the opposite in this case.
There are worse people to be known by.
It puts a sour taste in his mouth to consider volleying with an "I know you too" or a "thank you" right this second, though. He supplements that with giving Crowley a couple of awkward leg pats instead, since unnecessary touching seems to be... broadly allowed. Or maybe it'll turn out Crowley only prefers that done on his own terms. But it's too late to un-pat regardless. ]
