Susan has devised another activity to occupy her days. By the calendar's reckoning, the start of spring is roughly a week away. Between her and Tress, they've got the outline of a plan for the next Dark, and Susan is happy to rely on people who've got greater interest in and skill for growing things insofar as agriculture goes. But the growing season here shall be longer than usual, and Susan should like to have some idea about what that might mean for the ecosystem,

This is her flimsy excuse to pardon the latest stack of books she's currently carrying out of the library. There is a marginal off-chance that preparatory reading on soil biota could, potentially, be useful. Perhaps she might even talk someone else into reading on the subject as well, so that they might discuss it.

"Trade you back?" Aziraphale proffers her stack of books.

"Yes," says Susan. She passes over the plate and holds her hands out for the books.

Promptly, Aziraphale vanishes the dish anyway; subsequently, he returns the books to Susan's arms. "Enjoy your reading," he says with another smile. With that, he's off to haunt the stacks once again. He will be doing nothing whatsoever productive there.
