"Me too!" Aziraphale says brightly, before looking away in embarrassment. "I mean, obviously, being a Principality, we weren't created until much later..."
Despite breaking away from his own Heaven, Aziraphale has kept the habit of not wanting to appear like a dolt in front of other angels, especially ones superior to him in station.
At least it appears that Rota has no issue with Aziraphale's love for a demon, which puts him miles above the angels in his universe. That, combined with his bright, social aura, have Aziraphale warming up to him nicely. "A human?" he echoes, perhaps angling for a bit of gossip. More seriously, he adds, "Angels are supposed to be beings of love. Having a God so cruel as yours is bound to make more defect... and Rota, if you don't mind me saying so, I think it's rather brave of you to be one of the few to do so."
