The demon called from the other side of the door before cracking it open and sleepily sauntering his way in with a yawn. He couldn't even really focus on Theta until halfway through his next sentence, "I can check again but... WHOA. Now that is a growth spurt."
I'm sorry what? Crowley stood there in the doorway, gaping, as the kid who now wasn't a kid changed before his very eyes. Were Theta an angel or a demon this wouldn't have been so shocking but other beings didn't usually transform so entirely and completely.
"That's different," he lifted an eyebrow while glancing out of the bedroom door to see if there was an angel lurking there who could make sense of this. "You went from young to old and skipped everything in between? You can do that?"
There is consent muffled screaming as someone shifts though regenerations; including this face for the first time and Bowtie. Finally, after being a woman he's this face again.
He answered automatically and without an ounce of intended humor about it. The transformations themselves had been many and varied but those screams, well, he wasn't rattled. Not in the least! See how cool he is?
Aziraphale at least has his miraculous powers available to him, so he snaps his fingers, conjuring a nice little tea tray complete with a steaming pot, a cup and saucer, and cream and sugar in case the Doctor wants that.
The Doctor beams and takes the cup and saucer, "I need my original clothes." The Doctor remarks being completely in the nude because he outgrew the clothes he has on. "Probably at my castle."
"Going to be a long walk to the castle dressed like that."
What? He was looking after a kid here. Surely his obligation ends once the kid is grown up? That's what humans do! The little guys grow up and are immediately shipped off to college. And don't start with those disapproving looks! You know what disapproving looks do to him! UGH! In overly dramatic demonic fashion and with no one doing more to prompt him than pull a face or two Crowley gave in.
"Fine... I might have something you can wear until you get your old things back. We're probably the same size, we're the same everything else." A pause before popping out of the room to grab a few things, "You won't be changing again while I'm gone? You don't have a few dozen more people in there to shift into?"
"Just because he's an adult again doesn't mean we can't help him out," Aziraphale says rather quellingly. He gives a satisfied sort of hum as Crowley acquiesces. Crowley is always so obliging to him - always has been. Except that One Time that he hopes never to have to relive.
"Though, that is rather a good question, my dear Doctor. Are you going to remain in this form?"
Changing form isn't especially surprising to Aziraphale - he could change his form, if he wanted to. He just generally doesn't. He likes his corporation the way it is.
"I'm sure I'm done changing." He does wonder if he can regenerate anymore. "Yes, I'm going to remain in this form." The Doctor didn't have any desire to change back to another face. However, the cold sweats remain because he relived all of his deaths but trying to pretend nothing is wrong.
That being the case Crowley disappeared for a moment to go rummage about in his own closet and pick out something. It was a simple button up shirt and a pair of jeans which were too tight to be reasonable but that's the way Crowley liked them. In black, naturally. These were tossed at the Doctor.
"You were the kid the whole time?" Obviously right but still, one had to ask, "And what was with quick change act, all those faces? Some times its hard to settle into just the one face?"
"Oh, Crowley," Aziraphale tsks faintly at his slightly-more-evil half. "You shouldn't pepper the man with questions like that. He's just been through an ordeal!"
He wrings his hands together in front of himself. "I'm just glad everything seems to be...stabilizing now."

"Oh! Gosh. So that's where the Doctor went. Are you all right? Do you need us to help you, somehow?"
He's never seen anything quite like this, but he's definitely seen a lot of weird things, so he remains relatively unruffled.
