Why Crowley had a box with rats with him at the start remains a mystery.But it was probably for mischievous reasons.
[Image description: A 6 page comic of Aziraphale and Crowley from Good Omens. It starts with Aziraphale sitting in front of a table with a cup of hot cocoa in hands. He is smiling until he is interrupted by Crowley appearing and putting a rectangular box on the table as he says”Angel! Would you look after my employees for a bit?Yes?Great!I owe you one!”. The box has six tiny black rats inside.
“What?” stutters Aziraphale looking at the rats confused and then turns towards Crowley with a frown as the latter seems to be leaving. “Crowley you know how i feel about rats on my bookshop!” he complains loudly as he puts his mug on the table. “Oh c’mon Angel! They are well trained and I’ll only be gone for a couple of minutes” Responds Crowley as he leaves.
“Plus I’ll pay you back with lunch when I’m back! Anywhere you want! Yes?Good!I’ll be back before you know it!” he continues offscreen as we see Aziraphale clearly annoyed and grumpy. “He better make it lunch and dinner” Aziraphale murmurs still quite grumpy as he turns his head to look at the rats. “An all of you…You better behave and stay away from any of my books. And if you try to bite or dirty any of them I’ll…be really disappointed” he says to the tiny rats while pointing at them with his left hand. “And make your boss sleep on the couch for the next century”.
His speech is interrupted by one of the tiny rats that was looking at him while he talked that sees his pointing hand and while holding the edge of the box raises itself up to nuzzle Aziraphale’s finger with its head. Aziraphale’s hand starts to tremble and he is render speechless, a lots of hearts surrounding him as he looks at the tiny rat delighted.
30 minutes later we see Crowley returning. “Angel!! I’m sorry for taking so long, things got hectic and well-” he says with a nervous smile as he enters the room but doesn’t continue, instead he leans back the wall and with a wide smile asks”Oh! Having fun without me?”. We then see Aziraphale who is still sitting at his chair, but now is holding a book, wearing round reading glasses and has a blanket over his lap.Two rats are resting on his shoulders, one over his head and one is climbing the book. The box on the table now has a tartan blanket and the last to rats are sleeping there. All the rats also now have tiny tartan pattern bows on their necks. Aziraphale looks toward Crowley, clearly flustered as he says “Oh dear…welcome back?”. End id.]
