"Oh... well, I don't want to presume..." Aziraphale falls silent a moment before adding, "I think an animal that is loyal to Moloch but can be friendly to others would be best. It would keep him from isolating himself completely in the Wilds."

His thoughts on the matter expressed, he turns his attention to the relatively lighter topic of conversation. "I think we'll just stay in like we did last year," he replies with a smile. "Our friend Toby took the liberty of decorating the entire bookshop and flat last year with mistletoe, so we're continuing the tradition."

As for the celestials, Aziraphale can't help but worry his lip over news of Raguel not fitting in. "I heard that his human lover was injured. Is she doing better now? I've met Rota already, by the way. He was very nice, just as you described. I can safely say that he's not like any of the angels I knew on my world."
