Aziraphael's hand is barely there, warming the longer it rests in one place. It stays directly over Crowley's heartbeat but he has to resist the urge, now, to trace it lightly up Crowley's neck where the pulse of life is even stronger. The return from discorporation is always accompanied by a marked increase in sensitivity - he swallows audibly, remembering - but after an entire year away, it's rather more marked than usual. Significantly so.
He lets his eyes follow the course he'd like to trace, instead.
