and yet you're the
prettiest vision here WHEN THE WOMAN ATTESTED THAT she like crime novels, Tobias couldn’t help but crack an anemic smile. The nuance of the expression was, however, lost in his obsidian shell. If only his life of crime-solving was his public vocation. That could open-up an entirely different world of conversation. But instead, he was simply a librarian. Ah well.
“Have you read the Thomas Odd series? By… Koontz… I can’t recall his first name…” Tobias inquired, “It’s a supernatural crime series. I’ve heard good reviews for it.”
Less about him, more about her reading preferences.
“I like poetry,” Tobias confessed, rubbing an index finger beneath his nose. Poetry was stereotypically a genre for women, so it was embarrassing to admit. He should read war novels or historical fiction—but no. He enjoyed poetry.
“All sorts of poetry—Japanese, European, American—on all sorts of topics,” Tobias rattled, “Surprisingly, being a librarian keeps one rather busy, so I don’t often have the time to read full novels. Except when school is not in-session. It is, however, easy to uh… read one poem, and then return later to read another?”
“Feather founded,” Toby echoed in English, legitimately unsure if it was the right word or not, “Hm… perhaps.”
He didn’t entertain the thought further, for, as soon as he began to give it dedicated thought, they arrived at the sale, marked by a handwritten standee next to a double-door.
“Ah, here we are—the sale,” Toby said, gesturing with a hand palm-up, “After you.”

She had no idea how the conversation was really going. It seemed to be going alright, very friendly as he spoke to her in English and she wished she could say something about how kind that was. But the words were lost on her. Compliments were definitely not Narcissa's strongest suit, especially not after her fall. She did not want others to feel better thanks to her words, she had to work on herself and protect herself so that was her only concern. It was a sad thought and she knew that, but that did not change anything. She was a reader, that was true, did she still have much time to read after everything changed for the second time? First, it was the change of being a pro-hero, now it was the change of being... whatever it was that she was. "I don't think I have?" She did not recall the name nor the surname he mentioned. "It sounds like something I should read." She replied to the point that it was a supernatural crime series and she took her phone, "Thomas Odd you said?" That was the name of the character then and what was the surname again? She would ask for him to repeat so she could write it down. No harm in trying, it might actually be fun to do something that could distract her from all the negative stuff.
She looked a little surprised when the tough-looking man admitted that he liked poetry, to be honest, it was just not something she expected, which had caught her off guard. She nodded and was actually very interested, she nodded when he said it was a busy job and no time for novels. "I ehm, never really understood poetry? Maybe I don't have much room for imagination, I can't always guess what they mean or what they are about." She said and felt a little silly herself. It wasn't that she did not try or that she did not like some, but it was very difficult and she had dropped the idea of trying to read poetry every now and then just right after she picked it up again. She would never admit it before, saying this so out of the blue felt strange.
As they had walked on, they arrived at the sale and Narcissa would look around, lavender, right? And everything else Tobias had said. She would smile at him and thank him before moving first to go through the door and wondered why she had never met people like him before. Maybe it was because she wouldn't allow herself to do so. She took a deep breath, the colours and everything in the room was perplexing and beautiful. She did not know where to start.
