Inside the study, Ember was walking across the bookshelves. Though she was curious, she simply stared at them, not knowing if she was even allowed to touch them.
A voice made her jump in surprise.
"Miss Ember, would you like to take a look at the books?"
It was Erlos. It appeared that she didn't hear him enter. She looked at him with eager eyes. "Can I?"
Erlos was quite surprised to see her reacting like this. Till now, he had only seen her quiet and withdrawn, even wary of the people around her. Even when Leeora was around, she seemed so awkward and shy.
'Does she like books?'
For the first time, he got to see her eyes clearly sparkle with excitement.
'She has such beautiful eyes.'
Seeing the elf not answering her question, Ember said, "I understand…"
