Well its really cool! I wouldn't even have known if you hadn't said anything. But I'm excited to read it.

Then let's!

[she finds the subject mildly interesting, but her favorite part by far is sitting here with Hanna to read it]

[He'll just have to find the real cool stories for her. Except excuse him while he gets distracted by a page on salamanders.]

Woah. I love these things, have you ever heard about Salamanders?

No. Tell me about them.

Okay, so they're like regular little lizards, except for they're elementals. So, their element is fire!

They're actually really sweet, they don't mind you holding them. Kind of cute, but if you get a lot of them together, its bad news bears. They'll burn everything if they start getting hot. Since their flames don't really start burning until you get a bunch all in one place.

Anyways, they're adorable. Until you have an infestation, and then you have to worry about your house being burned down or what ever.

So they're lizard firebenders?

[she thinks]

Have you ever seen one?

Kind of. Just elementals. They're very warm. If you were able to keep a handle on population control, you wouldn't need to heat your house, they'd do it for you.

But they kind of flock together. So, that's potentially dangerous.

But yeah, I've done some stuff with them before. Nothing too dangerous. But they're really fucking cute. Well, if you like lizards they're cute anyways.

I wish we had some here. It's coooooooold.

It is... [He'd slept on the couch a few nights this week and it was pretty damn cold. So a Salamander or two would be nice to have around.]

Are you cold now? I'm kind of using you as a blanket, but you don't have one.

Naw I'm good. You're warm enough.

[Though sleeping in her room tonight might be a good idea.]

Okay.

[she snuggles down further]

Let's keep reading.

Alright.

[He continues to flip through the pages, reading some stories aloud when he found them interesting enough to the both of them, or got him excited enough.]

[she just relaxes and listens, her eyes closed, every so often nuzzling against his hair affectionately]

Okay, I admit it. Humans have pretty interesting mythology.

You should hear some of the crazy shit the Japanese come up with. It's pretty awesome.

Japanese? Hey, I actually know what that is!

[she sounds pretty pleased with herself]

I've met Japanese people before.

There's a lot of them here, actually. You should ask them about their ghost stories sometime.

They're pretty rad. I don't know any off the top of my head though.

That's okay. You can keep reading the stuff in the book.

[He flips some more pages, looking up at her.] You ever heard of Selkies?

Nope! Are they elementals too?

Not really. They're seals?

Like, they can take off their pelt and turn into beautiful women.

Oh, now I know why you like them!

What is that supposed to mean?

You like pretty girls, right?

Well, yeah. But that's not what I like Selkies.

I was working on a case that involved one before I got here, actually.
