[at least. He thought they were. They're easily fooled. At least he thought they were. But since coming here he's gotten a lot of illusions shattered and he's starting to wish Aziraphale had been more complete with his reports.
(Point of fact being that he was incredibly complete for the task at hand and Gabriel just didn't read them.
And there is a conversation in his mind about that...)
He shoves that thought out of the way and narrows his eyes at Loki unimpressed.]
Practicality. Also. It's rude. They're huge and it's not how I fly. You can't just go wandering around a place with four extra limbs and expect people to leave them alone. One.
[he holds out a finger.] that's one. Two, it's rude. At least I was taught it was rude. Most people see me coming and I have to warn them to not be afraid because they're huge and I'm huge and scary.
Three...pomp and circumstance? Like...when you want to make an impression. Or scare people.
[like say if you want to take on Satan. Big wings out. Like birds trying to scare people maybe.]
Humans fear what they don't understand and I'm going to have to work among them and I don't want them to run away screaming. Or touch them.
[the shiver of disgust is only slightly exaggerated.]
