283. Library Talk

"You asked me to wait," Mauve said, looking up at Jael with big brown eyes when he wouldn't say anything in response to her words. It was weird that he was just staring at her, she didn't know what to do with the attention.

"Yes," he replied softly. "What do you intend to do with the rest of your day?"

She shrugged and looked away, "I was thinking of going to the library, it has been a while since I read a new book."

She had picked up knitting again but learning all by herself wasn't so easy and even though she could see progress, it was still a little boring. Besides, she wanted an excuse to walk around.

"I see," he softly said and touched her chin. "Well then, shall we?"

Mauve blinked and then nodded. He wanted to come with her? This wasn't completely surprising but she knew he was busy.
