Who wouldn't be cheered up by a sumptuous meal and impeccable service? Even demons in a foul mood, which Crowley certainly seems to be, though Aziraphale is used to his snapping and not a bit troubled by it. He has their table ready, just as promised (he really does think of it as their table, after all this time, and on the occasions when Aziraphale dines here alone he has himself seated elsewhere, because the same table without Crowley slouched on his left just doesn't feel right) with a sympathetically large pour of single malt scotch at each of their places to get them started, and a beautiful Cheval Blanc on order.
All very lovely; he smooths his lapels, turns a blossom in a vase on the table just so, and hopes that Crowley remembers to miracle away the smell of seal before he arrives.
