Likewise, of course. [ She removes herself out of politeness and somehow it leaves the same thrill of touch, the same awkward fumbling to find the right words to describe what she currently feels (she settles on electric). ]
Once I'm more acquainted with the world I've been reading about I can tidy up some. I just need frequent reference. You start on one book and then you need five reference books -- then five for those. I'm sure you see where I'm going with that. [ An infinite amount of books, which she seems to be quite thrilled over. She doesn't treat it as taxing or annoying. Her smile reaches her eyes. ] Ah, I've found myself entranced by Roman and Greek history and their philosophers. [ It's Aristotle. ] I've heard that hundreds of years later there are similar interesting people in the Italian Renaissance. I look forward to some day getting to that.
[ She turns her back to him, heading toward the kitchen. She doesn't seem to mind if he follows or not; she's comfortable leaving him alone. Her home hasn't been remodeled so it is easy to find where he's going. It is essentially the same as it came, sans personal touches. It's mostly bright, white, clean. The kitchen is more organized than the living room, pristine. There's a small pile of books on the kitchen table, but they're perfectly lined up. She's busying herself with tea now. ]
I've quite a selection of loose leaf. I'll be having Earl Grey, but you're free to choose what you like. I have some lemon sablés and macarons, as well. [ She's already plating them, so he doesn't feel like he has to ask for any. She'd like this to be perfect, make a good impression... make him feel comfortable around her. She's over-thinking it all, feeling flustered and she can feel the warmth spread to her face. ]
