[It's the perfect picture of serenity:

Marlene's sitting in a library, curled up in front of the fire place with a rather large book, and a large mug of hot chocolate in hand.

Very, very absorbed in this book, yes. Enough that she may or may not hear anyone approach.]

[Michael's not even quiet as he enters, still not wearing the eye-patch, though his eye is still in habit of shutting. Returning a book and picking up another, stopping when he sees Marlene.

Torn between bothering her and letting her be. But...he missed her.]

[Aw, but doesn't she look so cute sitting there, gnawing on her lip? Whatever she's reading, she's awfully concentrated on it. Might look like she's having trouble reading it. It'd be really nice if you go and help~]

[She does! Michael grumbles to himself and rubs at the back of his head, walking over and sitting behind her. Might be wrapping his arms around her too, mindful of the mug.]

What're ya reading?

[ribbonofmemory]

[She jumps a little, taking a couple of moments to relax. Still not quite completely comfortable yet. Either way, she points down at the page, which is written in French. Looks like someone was trying out a new language.]

Just a book I found.
