Well, Crowley can have a subtle eye-roll right back. She might be less cagey, but she still doesn't appreciate the evident kick he gets out of being obnoxious.
"Sort of," she replies in response to his first question, giving Aziraphale a faintly disapproving glance. Just what has he been sharing?
But she can't help but be a bit mollified by the genuine compliment to her wards. Hey, she's proud of them - not to mention ridiculously excited that she can pull them off at all - and the corners of her mouth tick upwards. "Thanks," she says, stepping away from the window so she can turn and examine her work again. "The text did say 'permanent,' so." Doesn't get much more permanent than a proper inlay, she figures.
Her smile vanishes at 'in one piece,' and she gives Aziraphale a worried look. She's been trying not to think too hard about that lingering bruise, or how badly he might have been hurt before he had a day or so to shake it off, but Crowley's comment has made that impossible.
