Melanie can't help but be intrigued by the phrase 'infinite knowledge,' and she gives Illyria a reassessing look. "I don't need to learn how to dismember my foes," she replies, almost an even match for the god's solemnity. The hungry part of her already knows how to do that. "But I like learning other things, like maths and science and the arts. And I like stories."

She loves stories.

"Maybe there are things you could teach me," she hazards. Illyria might not like the idea. Aziraphale might not like the idea. But if he doesn't already know about Illyria, he probably should meet her, right? "About plants--the green?"
