Intellectually, Aziraphale knows that Rota is referring to Lucifer and Eve, but he still has to fight a blush off his face while he takes another sip of his drink. Crowley did not tempt Aziraphale on the garden wall, but something started between them in that shared conversation, a small seed of friendship that blossomed into love, far earlier than either angel or demon was consciously aware.
"Did you know him? Before all the fighting?" Aziraphale looks at Rota curiously, his gaze meeting that additional set of eyes. "I've only met the Lucifer in my universe once, and it wasn't a happy occurrence."
Rota's comment on the celestials in the Nexus has Aziraphale worrying his lower lip, wondering if he can trust the other angel with some personal information. In the end, he decides it's better to bring it up now, in case the Ophan has any opinions on the matter. "Well... as it happens, I have some experience in the matter. My best friend and romantic partner is a demon, one that I have known for over six thousand years. That sort of relationship is virtually unheard of, and we were nearly executed for it. In some ways, it's easier for me to befriend fallen angels than it is to trust other celestials, considering the attitude of most of the ones I've known."
