[Did Rich mention he was single because he didn’t have a bond yet when they talked? Or that he’s the single book seller in this place (which would be untrue)? A mystery he’ll have to solve with this conversation, he figures.]
That would be me, Aziraphale. I am definitely old, and I suppose I have gotten soft over the years. A little bigger, too. [Slowly, but surely, he’s working on not seeing that as a bad thing, something he has to hide.]
It is a pleasure, Endiku. My bookshop is not open to the public yet, but if you wish to come visit I would be more than happy to show you around. I always love to meet other people interested in books and literature.
[Truly, Enkidu has no idea why Rich called Aziraphale single. Single means alone. So without someone. Or maybe without a bond. Or both.]
there is nothing wrong with being old. i am old as well.
[That response makes them chuckle softly.]
i would like that, aziraphale. i am curious about these stories and literature. after all, each and every one of them has shaped humanity to what it is now. i wish to read them all.
My bookshop would be a good place to start with that then, dear. You can read as much as you wish as long as you promise to treat the books with the respect they deserve.
I'll send you the directions, you can come by whenever it'd work for you.
