Of Dogs and Angels

If anyone passing the Plaza would pause for a moment or two then they would likely come across an angel sitting on a nearby bench playing with a ball of fluff. This new addition into his life is an Alaskan Malamute puppy who goes by the name of Onyx. Jack had Diamond and now it seemed the angel had brought a pup to inhabit their apartment. At least she'll have a friend to keep her company.

Balthazar held the squeaky toy, which was shaped in the form of a large blue rubber bone, as he began waving it close to Onyx's muzzle so he could snap his small but powerful jaws around it. The bone made a loud squeaking noise which was bound to attract attention either way. He was loving it. Not a booze bottle in sight as he was far too busy entertaining his new little friend and bringing him softly into his new world. Around the angel's own neck was a rather attractive sparkling diamond collar. This had been given to him by his lover and partner, Jack. It seemed the angel was a true Diamond dog and with a dog of his own now.

"You like this don't you, Onyx? Now, be a good boy and don't bark at the nice people here."

Were there any cats? Of course there were. Also, birds. Bird looking people and cat creatures. All variety of creature and Onyx would have to get used to sharing his world with them. He was a cute ball of fluff at this moment who would no doubt continue to grow into a large, powerful dog. Balthazar adored him as much as the man he had met only a few weeks ago. The hooligan and prostitute, Jack.

"I'll promise to buy you some doggy snacks soon since you pretty much ate my couch. Was the stuffing good?"

He teased by tickling Onyx under his chin whilst knowing he would have a chewed up apartment for a good few months yet.

Aziraphale makes a small pained sound in the back of his throat. He really walked into that one, didn't he? One of the things he loves about Balthazar (the one he already knows) is his sense of humor, such a breath of fresh air from all the sticks-in-the-mud in his own Heaven, but it does mean that he has to put up with the occasional teasing.

"Perhaps. Although I'd prefer to stick to literature instead of personal anecdotes."

He would definitely like to get to know this Balthazar better, too, so the cooking lesson is definitely on. "Excellent? Do you have a PINpoint? I can send you the coordinates to my bookshop." The shop is heavily warded against other angels and demons (except for Crowley, of course), but if Balthazar appears in his shop, it shouldn't be an issue. "Perhaps a little later, while someone else is watching Onyx?"

The puppy is adorable, but Aziraphale would prefer it to not be bounding around the kitchen while he's trying to bake.
