As Aziraphale put the last of the crops for the day into the millhouse he suddenly felt the presence of a demon. Argh! Crawly!
As if on cue Crawly jumped up from the wheat and went "Rah!"
"What are you doing Crawly?"
"Trying to give you a heart attack obviously!"
"Why?"
"Because it is a lot easier to do than you think. You are a nervous ball of energy. It only takes a little push."
Aziraphale rolled his eyes.
Crawly hoped out of the wheat and tripped and fell on the floor quite comedically. Aziraphale shook his head and sighed.
"That is really unsanitary you know."
"Are you saying demons are unclean?"
"Yes! Your lot are full of sin and evil deeds! Now get off the floor before someone sees you and your eyes and we have to perform a mock demon buster on the entire land!"
"Alright! Fine! Geez, you angels are really bossy aren't you?"
With that, he stood up and wrapped his arm around Aziraphale's shoulder just to piss him off. It worked extremely well.
"So this whole business with Joseph king of dreams? A prophecized of some sort? Can he read your dreams?"
"Get your filthy arm off me you foul fiend!"
Crawly did as he was told was a chuckle.
"Okay alright, Mr. Grumpy angel pants!"
"If you must know Jospeh is the son of Jacob-"
"One of his many sons I heard. Dude had really bad commitment and relationship issues and is not a good example of that you should be following for marriage advice at all! The dude spread his seed everywhere and I don't just mean in the ground!"
Aziraphale frowned at him. "Are you going to let me finish or are you just going to keep interrupting me with your irritating demonic shenanigans?"
"Demonic shenanigans? What am I some sort of human child?"
"Crawly!"
"Okay fine. Sorry. Please continue oh great Principality of Earth."
"As I was saying he is a dream prophezier and he was also the favorite son of Jacob-"
"Whoa whoa whoa hold the gravy! Didn't Jacob's family have a dysfunctional thing going with the favorite son and Jacob did that same thing to his kids. This dude sounds more like the dumbest human every day! I don't see why your lot is so obsessed with this circus show!"
"Crawly!"
"Sorry. Please continue."
"Anyways like I was saying his brothers didn't like that so they sold him into slavery here in Egypt and-"
"Whoa! Sold him into slavery! Over being the favorite child with mystical powers? Humanity's ability to go from zero to a hundred in ten minutes will never cease to amaze me."
"Crawly! Do you mind?"
"Okay okay sorry. I won't interrupt this time."
"Thank you! As I was saying he was put into service with a guy named Potiphar-"
"What a dumb name."
"Do you want to hear this story or not?"
"What? I know a funny name when I hear one! My name is Crawly for Satan's sake."
"And it's about to be abandoned in a crop storage house in ten minutes if you don't let me finish."
"Making threats angel? Not very angel-like of you."
"Anyways he was a bright young mind who always saw the bright side of things and took the opportunity and made the best of a bad situation! He worked hard and received praise for this. Then he got falsely accused of rape by the master's wife and sent to prison. Then he was able to translate the dreams of a cupbearer and a baker's dreams and then word got around to Pharoah who then had his dreams interpreted which means there will be seven years of plenty and seven years of Famine. But because Joseph was put in charge the people of Egypt will be saved and people won't stare to Death. The last Famine I was in...it was the first...it wasn't a good experience Crawly. I wasn't allowed to do anything for them."
Crawly looked sympathetically at him and reached out a hand but Aziraphale backed away.
"Are you okay angel? You seem a bit upset about it."
Aziraphale forced a smile on his face. "Of course! Everything is fine! Why won't it be? It is all part of the Ineffable Plan and that is behind us now! I just need to focus on the here and now and stop worrying about every little human I come across just like Gabriel said."
"Whatever you say, angel."
