"Now that’s not what you see everyday...” He mused to himself. There hadn’t been much excitement back then, besides the occasional hooligan being chased by a superior higher up in the hierarchy. While reading may not be his forte, the idea of a large sum of information being crammed into a inanimate object seemed ludicrous to him. Farlan didn’t quite catch the concept of staring at a simple page and magically absorbing each detail.

Oblivious to this, he raised an index finger towards the rims of his lips, as if concealing it, and tapped in a thoughtful fashion. This was of course short-lived as he soon captured the gaze of the male and produced awkward eye-contact. With a swift exposure of his pearly whites, he threw his arms behind his head and attempted to portray casualness. “I said that a bit too loud... didn’t I? I was talkin’ about your book. It was just so rare to see someone readin’ a dusty ‘ol tome from where I come from.”
