It seemed to Aziraphale that Anthony had, if the memories were to be believed, already been to Hell, but that was an issue of semantics. Did Anthony even know what act had him cast out? He couldn't imagine his Anthony doing anything to get thrown from Heaven. Even their relationship's beginning, while unorthodox, was handled about as kindly as it could be. Anthony was a good man, human in his faults, but certainly not evil. Though it didn't seem to take much to gain the ire of Old Testament God.
Or was there something in their 'memories' that would change Anthony into whatever the Devil he had been (or supposedly was)?
Still, despite any misgivings, the very devious plans--less for their explicit deviousness and more for their delivery and implication--were met with a shiver of anticipation. Demonic wiles or not, Anthony was incredibly tempting and his breath ghosted over Aziraphale's ear.
