I don't see why not.

[Gadreel sighs out a slow breath and pats the back of her wrist gently.]

He cares about you. He won't admit it, but an angel sees these things. I've never known of a demon like him.

[uncaging]

[ Elizabeth smiles fondly. It was quite clear to her that Crowley cared about her, even if it was in the same gruff way as Booker, where she thought that he'd never quite be able to admit it. ]

Is he really so unique?

[neversauntered]

He is... odd, for a demon. At least, the ones that I know of.

[He knows that Crowley would not like to be described as 'odd'.]

Aziraphale has been more of an influence on him than he'd admit.

[uncaging]

I wish I'd got to meet him.

[ She turns a corner, leading them away from the gardens and toward the forest. ]

[neversauntered]

I think he might have liked you.

[Gadreel got to meet him, just the once, and had liked him well enough. Far more than he liked Zirah, who had his moments, but was ultimately a danger to himself and everyone around him.]

You're good for Crowley, you know.

[uncaging]

I am? [ She's surprised, delighted even. ] Mostly I think I just bother him.

[neversauntered]

If you did, he wouldn't spend time with you. There's nothing in him that compels him to be nice to you, Elizabeth, save for a fondness.

[Crowley wouldn't like it, but Gadreel knows him very well.]

The two of us aren't so different. He and I.

[uncaging]

[ Elizabeth looks pleased, but still a little confused. She'd spent so much of her life completely alone that she made a point of telling the people she liked how much she valued them. It made her sad to think that Crowley might actually like her a lot but feel it wasn't worth telling her so. ]

Are you? I don't think he'd like to hear that.
