Stories and hobbies and other ways to pass the time

Verity's in her favorite seat in the forum, drinking coffee and trying to read a book that's frustrating her. It isn't long before she puts it down with a scowl aimed at the cover (or possibly the concept of books). "Does anyone understand Norse mythology? Is that a thing? Because I do not get it."

"Alternately, any suggestions for hobbies for someone with lots of time and few skills? Preferably things that aren't group activities."

((A note about Verity: she's got a magic spell stuck in her that lets her always know when someone is lying to her. Please respect this; if your character is trying to lie to her, please make that known so she can react appropriately.))

Verity watches the bright yellow... okay she's not sure what it is other than cute and interested in her book maybe. She's really not prepared for this level of cute, so there's plenty of time for book-inspecting before she says anything. "Hey there little guy. You like books? It's not a very fun one."

At her voice he jumped, immediately crouching. But oh, she didn't sound mad that he was poking at her book. He peeked up at her, then relaxed and put it down. "Pi." He preferred picture books to the ones with lots of words. Unless someone was reading to him, then they were quite nice. Oh, there was something he liked ot do that didn't get him into any trouble ever! He ran off and shortly returned.

He hopped up beside her, lifting a hand in greeting. Well there was one thing he liked, and he'd clearly brought it to show her; a collection of hats were with him. A party hat, goggles, several caps, headbands and even three faded neckerchiefs, similar to those boy scouts would wear. Looking at her and thinking, he picked up the red cap and motioned for her to wear it.

She's not annoyed. He's cute and hasn't hurt anything. She's a little confused when he runs off, and even more when he comes back with a pile of hats.

"Oh, that's a nice collection." She'll look them all over with a good-natured sort of humoring, and when offered the red cap she'll take it. "I think it'll be a little small for me, little guy."

But yes, she'll put it on. Anything that seems young and innocent to her gets indulged.

Still good! He put on the small glasses that went with it, to match her own. He then offered her one of the faded pieces of cloth. "Pika!" Could she tie her hair back with it? He used to tie some of them around his ear. He hopped on the back of her chair, touching it to her hair. He didn't know how to tie it though.

"Oh... okay?" This is kinda weird, but he seems really invested in this so yes. She'll tie her hair back. "Like this?"

Well, the little mouse was clapping quite happily. He hopped down and put n a neckerchief himself, slipping the cloth through the plastic ring to keep it in place. Once dressed up, he spun in a circle and posed. "Pikachu!"

Evidently, dressing up was a hobby for this chu!

Anyone as cute as him should get to play dress up as much as they like.

She smiles at his display and applauds politely. "You look very nice."

He grins, clearly pleased with her praise. "Pi chu!" And you! He offers to swap glasses with her, patting his chest as he does. "Pikachu!"

"Oh, no honey, I need my glasses to see properly. And wearing them would probably give you a headache. That wouldn't be any fun."

He was only a little disappointed. Leaving his glasses off, he tied a piece of fabric around his ear just as he used to when he was only a little Pichu. Putting on the red and white cap, he beamed at her. Look, they matched!

"Aw, you wear it better than I do. Want to take a picture?" She's got a cell phone. Does he understand selfies?

Picture! He'd done this with Loki! Immediately he nodded eagerly and hopped over to her, crouching on the back of the chair s he was equal with her. "Pika~!" He waved a little arm for the camera.

He's a fast learner.

"Cheese!" She'll snap a couple pics of them before lowering the phone so they can look at the pictures. "You're good at this."

"Piiii~" He beams at her praise, squishing his cheeks a little. Good pictures, a pretty friend and praise - why wouldn't he be happy?

He hopped beside her again. "Pi Pikachu! Pi-?" He patted his chest, then patted her side to ask her name.

She's not really prepared for this much cute. Part of her is thinking he's smart and clearly a person, and the other part is thinking she really wants to pet him.

"Your name is Pikachu? I'm Verity."
