[ what a nerd except elysia loves books, too, so the library is such an easy place for her to be. elysia radiates love, and she comes up to his side. ]
Hi, Viktor~ Are you looking for anything specific?

[ viktor is so your type but not in this way.
she tilts her head. ]
I'll help you look. Those aren't authors that are familiar to me. What kind of books do they write?

Are those your tastes?
[ she makes a show of looking him over, as if she doesn't have him as someone she'll always remember in her mind. ]
I suppose you do match that kind of aesthetic.

[ if the blanket fits. ]
Oh? Are you two close? That's sweet.
[ she'll walk over to another set of shelves. ]
What do you think about a book club, Viktor?

What do you think about a book club, Viktor?
A bud of friendship, at least.
[ even if they're not close. ]
Would you?
[ even if they're not close. ]
Would you?
She looks the type. We can change her mind.
[ they're a we now. ]
It can start with you and me.
[ they're a we now. ]
It can start with you and me.
I'm not going to impose anything. If we meet in the middle, isn't that beneficial?
[ elysia wants to at least try. ]
She doesn't have to be invited to the book club. That can still be you and me. But if you talk to her and I talk to her.... Familiarity can be the beginning.

Even if she does... you're the one who said we shouldn't force it, right?
[ why is he going back ]
You could be more familiar.
[ why is he going back ]
You could be more familiar.
| It would only be an invitation. [JUST TELLING HIM HE COULD BE MORE FAMILIAR. His brows furrow. Something under the neutrality stirs slightly, but doesn't rise.] Why? I won't force friendship onto her if she doesn't want it. I'm familiar enough with the three of them. |
[ she got him to turn around so fast. ]
Sure. The invitation might be better coming from you since you're more familiar.
Like you said, it's only an invitation. She is free to deny.

| [SHE DID. HE WAS JUST SO OFFENDED ON MARY'S BEHALF. She is like his weird little Zaunite cousin.] We haven't determined anything else about this, and she will ask about information. Date, time, book selection... She probably won't read anything... [a pause] ...a normie would. |
[ her tactics worked faster than expected. she smiles and has to giggle when he says normie. ]
Who taught you normie? We can pick a time in two weeks, here, a Tuesday afternoon. If she likes science fiction or dark romanticism.... why don't we go with what you were looking for?
[ she pulls out a copy of Frankenstein from the shelf. ]
Although I don't know if she'd be interested in something she already knows.

A rivalry?
[ it's a good thing i've committed to mary shelley not existing in elysia's timeline. ]
But she recommended the author to you... Was it so you could compare?

[ she offers him frankenstein. there's one of them. he's going to have to find edgar allen poe for himse.f ]
Is science one of your interests? Profession?
