"Oh woah! That sounds so fun, I love plants!" Yes, there was no hint of mockery, irony or fake joy - it was just real joy because he was clearly excited at the idea of Crowley's job. To him, it sounded just marvelous. "I adore botany. My brother, Bartemius, he gave me a book on botany after a rather heated debate on the garden of Eden between him and my eldest sister. It was so interesting. I want to own plants one day but, uh, I don't really have space. I still have the same bedroom..."

He was hoping to move soon. Get out. Get a bigger place, maybe one with north facing windows. He really wanted something bright and green. "I think I would get an orchid as my first plant. I know, I know, very common but so lovely. A good starter plant, yes?"

The kettle beeped and Aziraphale dragged himself away to get the coffee ready. "You will have to recommend me some green friends when you have chance."
