"Literature. I'm told some of the more recent storytellers here on the surface tell tales just as impressive as the ancient bards and poets," Zagreus says, picking up the book to show her the cover. It's an anthology of the works of Shakespeare, so his idea of 'recent' is... a little skewed, even if it's not inaccurate.

"And you? I didn't expect you to be here this early."

"Recent, huh? I should buy some velvet and taffeta then, what do you think?"

Jokes aside, she welcomed herself down and decided that it was a bit too early to joke around...too much. But she hoped it was a little funny to him, at least in tone. She knew he was from an era waaaaaay before hers, but it was a funny idea to consider that her time compared to Shakespeare WAS recent. In her head, it was true and she knew it. It was wild to think hard on it.

"I grew up reading Shakespeare plays. People called me weird for it. They said I must be boring because I liked 'boring books'."

She shrugged, "Good thing I never wanted them to think I was interesting."
