Drabble!

I read the Sphinx-Ana thread in the hospital wing and began to wonder why Ana would be prepared for poison ivy rashes in an English town. A quick check on wikipedia confirms that it is indeed a North American plant. So there's really only one explanation:



"Crowley!" That was Aziraphale's smiting voice.

"Something wrong, angel?" There really shouldn't be. He'd been practising sloth all day.

"You wouldn't happen to know anything about that dreadful, itching rash on poor Pepper's arms?" Aziraphale looked sternly at the demon.

"Why would I?"

"She's been working in your favourite corner of the greenhouse all day."

"She probably got into the poison ivy, then. I warned her to stay away from it. It's not my fault, if they don't listen."

"And just how could that get into our garden, Crowley?"

"Well, I've been importing a few foreign plants for research ..."

I wouldn't have known either, except that I've only ever heard of poison ivy from American TV-shows and the closest to it we have here in Austria are nettles, who definitely don't require a cream. Since Austrian and English vegetation aren't usually that different it seemed odd ...
Anyway with Crowley messing with the greenhouse anything seemed possible. ;)
