Element was impressed at how the golden-hued male respected the books; he let them dry as he meandered over to a small, circular table, dropped off his bag, and proceeded to sit down and read a non-damaged book. Element closed his eyes again; the only sounds for a few seconds was the gentle, crisp noise of a page turning that the ebony feline loved so much. Soon, however, the silence was broken by a question asked by the orange male, and Element opened one eye as he answered.
"Not at all," the cat said. He shook off all thoughts of the horror that had happened a few days before, and instead focused on the book the man was reading; it was a nonfiction book of the eighteenth century for humans. Element had never read it, but he had delved into some other short history pieces about the humans, and found it quite interesting. Their architecture, how it changed over the years, how discoveries were made - everything about what they did was extraordinary, all the way up to when they went too far and extinguished themselves on accident. Element wondered how far the Luperci race would go before they made the same fatal mistake - if they did at all.
He opened the other emerald eye to gaze at the man as he revealed his name; J'adore Austral. "I am Element," he said simply as the man put a book into his pack; a book about Spain. "Do you read often?" he asked inquisitively, noting at the pace and amount of books the man was putting into his pack. He admired those who read a lot, and although he sported no prejudice against those who didn't, he was always willing to open someone's eyes about the wonder and beauty captured inside books. He was sure this man could read, however, as he had seemed to have taken two books already.
