Hello, um, everyone. This is Aziraphale. I know I haven't met all of you, but I have gotten to know a good number of you as of late, and I've come to like you all a great deal, so it doesn't sit quite right with me not to apologize for recent events.
The sinking of the ferry was inexcusable. Our-- my failure, was a direct result of poor planning and lack of transparency, but I do need all of you to know that the intention had been to find our only way out of Beacon as other methods had been exhausted, and it was always in the plan to make subsequent trips for everyone remaining who wished a return home.
But I know that no amount of good intention will bring it back, nor heal your injuries, nor surface the supplies it was carrying. For all this, I am deeply and terribly sorry; this was, in no way, how I should have repaid all your kindnesses. I understand your anger, and you can direct it at me, if you would like, if you have need of a place to focus your ire.
However, I am afraid, actually, that I must ask a favor. I have, though not for lack of trying, not been able to retrieve much of the sunken raw material - if anyone should lend abilities, magical or otherwise, to help in the rebuilding of the ferry or the docks, you will have my deepest gratitude, for whatever that is worth.
I will try to assist with this as much as I possibly can, and otherwise will be available to assist those who require healing, though my ability to do so has been stunted.

Quentin and I can help with rebuilding. I understand he's still mad, but I don't think that's on you at all.
Would you care for some tea? I make a mean cup, and I think Q could benefit from an in-person discussion.
Kindly,
Eliot

It touches him and draws a smile on his otherwise reluctant visage. ]
Dear Eliot,
Are you quite certain? He is very upset. I wouldn't want to upset him further. Though I would be more than happy to come bring you biscuits for your tea.
Yours,
Aziraphale.

Yeah, he's being a shit, but I think it's more because he's frustrated that he's mostly bedridden right now. I can get him to sit, if you want to help me help him find reason.
Please bring biscuits. He won't let me make fresh dough anymore until I'm completely better. In return, I will share some of the remainder of our squash bread.
Sincerely,
Eliot
Re: private
I am sorry to hear that. Is there anything I could do? I could perhaps help to heal you. It's not much, but I could at least try.
I would very much like to try some of your squash bread, but only a taste!
Yours,
Aziraphale.
private
Could you? It's a lot of deep aches and pains. Nothing torn. I managed to throw up a shield before the impact really rattled me. Didn't manage to break anything. Sucks to move though.
Please. Tea is better with indulgent delights, not with the bare minimum. You better have a slice.
Sincerely,
Eliot
Re: private
I will try my best. I'm so very sorry, I should have come to see you earlier.
And yes, alright, I will have a slice. But please do not go through any trouble on my behalf, especially with your injuries.
Yours,
Aziraphale.
