I really love the sly, subtle style of this: the sneakiness (but transparency) is perfectly in harmony with the tale.
Ever since they'd put the Arrangement into place, Aziraphale had been quite delightedly honing his barbed comments and sarcastic remarks - Crowley was almost proud of him, considering himself a benefactor of sorts. After all, he'd justified it to Aziraphale once, not using a talent you'd been given was a sin against the Lord, and all that. He'd been the recipient of a renewed glass of wine, after that one, and a very strange smile, the meaning of which he still hadn't quite worked out.
Hee! Beautiful.
And of course it also gets a big awwwwwwwwww, a well-earned one.
