[Crowley is gonna take Jaskier to a Primark and do 6d6 psychic damage on the poor man.]
You've got that right, he's really not the nickname type.
[This is why Crowley just calls him "angel". Much less of a mouthful.]
Nah, humans where I'm from stopped believing in things like me a long time ago. [People still believe in God, of course, but most people don't think an actual demon is going to be hanging about on Earth.] Not to mention they never took too kindly to a demon.
[This is putting it very mildly, considering he's been discorporated once or twice by humans who found out what he was.]
S'just me and Aziraphale most of the time on Earth, anyway, it's easier to pretend to be human. They usually know something isn't quite right about us, but most of them don't want to think too hard about that sort of thing, so they make up explanations. Usually that we're queer and have a lot of money. Eccentric old poofs can get away with a lot.
[Jaskier is going to fail his wisdom saving throw and take 25 psychic damage. He'll be making death saves. This world is an unfashionable and dangerous place.]
At least you're not likely to be hunted down by a rabid mob.
[Anthony's explanation gets a raised eyebrow.]
I mean, and forgive me if I'm overstepping my bounds, it doesn't seem like they're making much up with that one.
[Self-recognition through the Other. Twink-on-twink violence.]
[To be fair, the angry mob thing only happened a handful of times throughout history, and usually because he did something stupid that he probably shouldn't have done.
Story of his life.
His eyebrows go up at that comment, and he tries very hard to look stern, but it fails when he laughs.]
Oh, I'm absolutely an eccentric old poof and m'not exactly trying to hide it. Once I figured out that humans use fashion to communicate that sort of thing, I was all about it.
[There's some complicated feelings tied up in that, about Aziraphale, about Heaven and Hell, but it's also very simple in some ways. He just wants to look gay, and that isn't a crime.]

amen
He should stick with the mononym.[Not that he's biased or anything.] "Azira" doesn't suit him. [He says, still yet to meet the man.]
Blending in... Do your humans not know what you are, then?
