Rose & Rune (2)

Rune thought, the more he talked with Rose, the more mysteries he found. However, it only piqued his interest more!

"How about you? Where did you go to school?" asked Rose, changing the subject. "I heard that you used to work as a teacher, but now you're writing a book. Sounds interesting. What are you writing now?"

Rune coughed at Rose's question. His nephews and niece were smart. They made his profile so flexible and ambiguous, that Rune could be anything in front of Rose.

Indeed, a teacher who was now a writer was a job that looked more respectable than an 'unemployed dude who enjoyed researching weird stuff'.

"I was homeschooled in Stuttgart. Nothing interesting, unlike you," said Rune evasively. "I was a teacher for several years, and then I took a break to see the world. A friend of mine needed an assistant to accompany him to research some tropical rainforest plants that have medicinal properties. I spent two weeks with him on the Amazon."
