"It's hard, I know. I didn't go to primary school, I was home schooled by my father and my eldest brother. I didn't even know what an exam was, I knew barely any maths or science. I had to work so hard to catch up. And I did. But it's not easy. It's time, motivation, a quiet space. I'm glad I found a library." Aziraphale admitted to Crowley, wondering if he knew he had potential or not. No one stupid could talk like he did. He was engaged and interested, he had such a way of talking - he had to be bright. "If you ever want someone to study with... in secret! Obviously. We would never tell."

It was worth an offer. He smiled sheepishly at Crowley and then looked away down the car park. "I don't have any friends or anything so -- I could use the company. And I'm quite well versed on the curriculum. And besides, you don't have to tell anyone your grades so it won't hurt your rep either."
