WIP Wednesday

The first time it happened, Aziraphale thought nothing of it.

They met by chance in Byzantium sometime during the early 300s, another of those coincidences where they were in the same place at the same time for work. As going for a drink and a meal in Rome back in 41 A.D. had been surprisingly interesting, Aziraphale offered an invitation again, and was rather pleased when Crawly--Crowley, it was Crowley now, he really must remember--agreed. Aziraphale mentioned a place he'd heard of reputed to have truly excellent salted pork, Crowley said he knew the city and would lead the way.

Crowley might have claimed to know the city, but he took them a very circuitous route going through a marketplace, and while fighting the crowds they passed by a particular street vendor and Aziraphale paused. A large pendant had caught his eye, a golden circle of interlocking wings dangling from a chain of golden links. It quite took his fancy; he stopped for a closer look and ultimately purchased it.

Crowley muttered about the waste of time but it didn't take all that long really, and then for the rest of the afternoon they bickered about greed and whether the desire for beautiful objects lifted the soul or lowered it. Aziraphale wore his new pendant the entire time. There was one point during the argument when he could have sworn Crowley glanced down at the gold with an odd expression, his smirk fading into something a little more personally satisfied than the was really warranted by the debate, but Aziraphale soon forgot about it. He wore the pendant for centuries after, until time and place dictated it should be put aside in favor of other fashions, but kept it safe with a few other treasured possessions.

The next time was in Nippon in Heian-kyō, in the tenth century.
