Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Mmm No they really haven’t made any more progress in the books than they have in life. So that’s kinda… amusing. But also the fact they are doing like, a series thing with Idris Alba, that might make it worth checking out.” He grinned softly.

He did take a considering moment though before nodding. “If you’re here, and… something comes up that I could use your help with, I will… tell you as soon as I can.” He promised. He leaned slightly into the embrace, he liked the feel of it. He liked the warmth of it because it felt so much like the antithesis of the Rain and grey of the Other Ashdown.

“Yeah, yeah I’m pretty into a few series, there is this one called ‘Sandman’… it’s, so many different artists, and that was sort of the point. It wasn’t just that the art was art, it’s almost like different points of view. And the story… or stories because its a lot of different stories for different people and things. I’ll lend you the first book if you want to try it?” He offered.

“That’s alright! If you really like the series I’ll give you the first book, I work at a bookstore after all! I can order a new copy! It would… please me to lend you something I enjoy, in the hopes that you’ll enjoy it as well.” He said with a serious nod.

“And like you said, it’s a good excuse right?” He looked up with a small sort of shy smile that was trying to tease.

“I mean, if you need one.” He added with a further quirk at the corner of his mouth.

“As long as you don’t cut a chunk into my book to fit something big.” He grinned. “They actually sell books that are made for that… I might have to keep that in mind.” He said making an exaggerated thinking face.

“Oh…OH! yes! Yes this is the place! Gelato! Here!” He said and reached to open the door.

“After you.” He said with a small bow, and a large grin.
