The Emporium is open...sort of

With the snow that came with the storm, Michael wasn't sure it was even worth opening. The sign says it is, but he's not expecting a big influx of people. Which is good, because he's still trying to sort out the paperwork for the store.

((ooc: Second verse, same as the first: slow-play until evening.))

Michael returned the smile, tired but grateful. "Thank you. We're leaving in the morning, assuming the snow lets us. I'd hate to miss our flight, now that we've gotten everything worked out." He glanced down at the counter, then back at Aziraphale. "We really appreciate everything you've done for us while we've been here."

"Not at all, my dear. It's been a pleasure knowing you both." He steps around the counter and pulls Michael into a warm hug. "You never know, we may yet meet again."

Ben came down the stairs as Aziraphale was giving Michael the hug. "We would both really like that. And of course we expect to stay in touch."

"Thank you, Ben. I'd like it if you would."

Aziraphale beams. He's never had anyone write him a letter before, except for the lovely card that Kiki's mother sent him.

He lets go of Michael and moves to hug Ben as well.

Ben was happy to accept the hug because OMGbookwhore, and he'd shag the man for access to his Oscar Wilde collection. "Please keep an eye on Kiki, and Dr. Wilson, and Michael's mother, and all the other precious people of this town. There are a lot of people here who mean a lot to us." Ben was pretty certain the angel was very capable of taking care of himself, so he left that unspoken.

"I do promise, for as long as I'm able, to keep an eye on all of them. If you're ever in town for a visit, I do hope you'll stop in and see me."

He gives Ben and Michael both a kiss on the cheek. "Do be careful in your travels," he says, looking a little sad. "And if you can keep in touch..."

"We will," Michael promised. "Thank you, Aziraphale."

"You're welcome, my dear. Good luck in your new life."

With another smile, Aziraphale heads back out the door.
