Aziraphale also looks around instinctively, although he has no idea who or what he's looking for. His curiosity is quickly rewarded when the little dog comes running up to Peninnah. "Oh! A dog!" He smiles and laughs when the creature tries to climb in his lap. "Oh, she's adorable! Is it all right if I pick her up? Just to set her in my lap."

He offers a hand to the soft white pup to sniff. The angel smells like old books and cocoa, and a bit like the wine he had been enjoying earlier.
