Sophie smiled a little and nodded. “Me too.” she said softly.
The Hero shows up at the Villain's doorstep one night // One on One // CLOSED
She smiled, watching Sophie.
Sophie raised a brow slightly as she noticed Raven’s gaze.
Raven blinked at her.
Sophie chuckled at the owlish expression and playful bumped Raven’s shoulder.
Raven laughed, smiling.
Sophie laughed softly with her. “Your turn.” she smiled.
She nodded, thinking for a moment.
Sophie smiled, waiting patiently.
She let out a faint breath. "I'm…honestly not sure what to ask."
“It’s ok.” Sophie chuckled.
She smiled faintly, trying to think.
Sophie smiled back, assuringly.
She kept thinking.
Sophie hummed softly, starting to think of more questions as well.
Raven sighed faintly. "Uh…do you read a lot?"
“Not “a lot” a lot.” she shrugged. “I like to read but sometimes… it's hard to find time, you know? “
"Yeah, I get that." she replied.
“But, I have to admit that there’s something enjoyable about holding an open book in your hands.” Sophie smiled, miming the action. “And… the smell of the paper… Jade doesn't get it. I mean, she likes to read too but most of her books are digital.”
"Paper books are the best." she agreed, smiling over at Sophie.
“Yes. They are.” Sophie nodded, smiling back. “I even prefer paperback books over hard copies.”
"I prefer hard copies, but I can see why you like paperbacks instead."
Sophie nodded. “And I can understand why you like hard copies. They're very sturdy and not easily damaged.”
"Yeah. They last longer."
Sophie nodded again. “They’re easier to take care of too.”
She hummed for a moment. "That too."
“Yeah.” Sophie chuckled. “I just prefer the feel of the paperbacks. I know it's a bit more work but… I just think it's worth it.” she shrugged.
"Yeah, I totally understand."
Sophie smiled at Raven.
She smiled back.
