Aziraphale suppresses a grimace at the remark. Right, the whole baby-eating thing. He understands it better now as a compulsion, but he does not want to trigger the curse, either.
Fortunately, there is nothing humanoid about these two exotic animals. Although Lucifer's comment has the angel twisting his fingers together in mild worry. It is his gift to choose, so he must do the best job possible, for both Moloch and the animal's sake. So far, the bull and owl meet that criteria. Aziraphale smiles when the bull approaches and offers his hand to sniff. If amenable, he'll pet it behind its ears. "I wouldn't want to separate them if they are companions, but two animals would be more work for Moloch. Do you think he'd be up for it?"
He glances up at the owl, matching its curiosity. "Quite possibly. Maybe it looks after the calf. Be a dear and find someone who works here? We can ask them about this pair."
