A real smile, for little old her? How delightful. It coaxes one of hers out to say 'hello'. Fair's fair and all, and honestly, smiling feels pretty good. But good luck getting her to admit it. She doesn't mind letting someone else do most of the talking, so long as the talk is interesting. Storytime is just about her favorite thing. So... how long can he keep this up? Because her schedule is pretty open. Has it been mentioned she's an excellent cook?

She can empathize with those people living lives without light and wonder. The idea that there were so many that they needed a legend is sad and a little daunting. No reality deserves that. But the spinning around is unexpected and she takes a step back. Bobbi, on the other hand, is totally down for whatever's going on! She jumps up and her tail is wagging. Are they going for walkies? Are they dancing? Is it an adventure? She does not care!

When he focuses on Verity again, he's met with the lingering remains of her smile. She almost has a smart comment ready, too, but then he has to go and be all serious. "Oh. Thanks. I like you, too."
