Aziraphale looked up with a start and backed away from Herbert hurriedly, blushing profusely.

"Oh- Rishka- hello..."
He straightened his clothes and smiled widely.

"If you two are quite finished, we've been invited to the castle for Christmas. Cal says they've gone completely overboard decorating the place for the occasion."

"...Well, we're going to be late. Are you coming? Because if not I'm going to go without you."

"We're having a moment, Rishka."

"Really, I couldn't tell," she said deviously. "So sorry. I'll wait."
She remained there, examining her nails.

Herbert ignored her. He was too busy attempting to look deeply and romantically into Aziraphale's eyes.

Aziraphale tried to reciprocate, but Marishka had effectively ruined the mood. And she was still standing in the doorway, picking at her nails and giving a very audible sigh every so often.

"Rishka," Herbert groaned.

"Fine, fine, I'm going," she said, leaving with a huff to go wait in the bookshop proper.

Herbert laughed and pushed his hair behind his ear. Something about his expression was almost parental.

"That girl is a bit of a nuisance," Aziraphale said, joining in Herbert's laughter.

"She'll learn eventually," Herbert sighed, still smiling.

While Aziraphale kissed him again, Marishka, true to form, was eavesdropping. She didn't really take Aziraphale's comment to heart, even though it stung a bit. She knew she was being a nuisance that time; she'd done it on purpose.
Herbert, though- he really did seem so different. And while she wasn't usually the center of his world or anything, he'd always at least paid her some mind. And she'll learn eventually? What was that supposed to mean? Maybe his new boyfriend was trying (consciously or not) to distance them. She was jealous partly jealous, and partly upset at and worried by this new Herbert.
