[The nightmares drove him to restless nights. He knew better than to try sleeping again tonight. Instead, the demon took a stroll around the neighbourhood. He'd heard something--someone?--making a fair bit of noise as they shuffled about. Running? Was someone in trouble? Was it really his problem? No, in fact, it wasn't. But Aziraphale would help them, so to keep the angel from nattering at him later about leaving one of Her creatures to fight off evil by themselves, he started towards the noise.
The demon saw the man run and duck behind the building. The serpent moved quickly and stealthily into the cover of the building. Once he was sure he was in cover, he recaptured his trademark saunter, just at a slightly brisker pace. The man whirled around on him, something of a wild anger in his cold eyes. This one was different. He wasn't human, that much Crowley could sense. He also smelled similarly to the Doctor with that touch of stardust about him.
Crowley held up both hands to show he wasn't a threat and nodded his head in the direction the man had run from. He kept his voice low, a near hissing whisper, so it wouldn't carry.]

What are we running from?
