[Notice her he does, although the books interest him more than the swimsuit. Because he loves books, for one thing, and because seeing anybody carrying that many around is rare. And like the gentleman he is, he can't help but wonder if she's carrying more than he can handle.]

Excuse me, miss? Do you need any help with those?

[dofaye]

Are you certain? That's an awful lot for a lady to carry.

[It doesn't occur to him how sexist that might sound; he's only trying to be polite.]

I'm sorry, I ought to ask your name first!

Jules de Ferrier. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Cheung.

Are you planning to read all of those?

[dofaye]

[Jules can't help but smile at that; he already likes her.]

A collector as well as a reader. What kinds of books do you prefer?

nobody but me will ever know...

[dofaye]

I can see that you do. [He's never met someone who is so freaking happy about reading, it's kind of adorable.] I completely agree, of course. A shame that many of the people in this age have taken to other forms of entertainment.

A lack of education, most likely. There's a much stricter education system in place in my home, and many more of us enjoy reading.

[dofaye]

Many, although we students don't often have chances to visit those outside of the school. But of course there are plenty of books there as well!

If you enjoy reading so much, I'm sure you know all about it; it seems to be part of this world's history, more or less. I'm French, from 1881.
