Honestly, Shosh didn't know who needed storytime at the library more, Sloane or her? It was a nice break from the stress of the last handful of days. Although She had to pause and wonder if maybe it was just getting a bit of laugh out of how animated Luke was while reading to the kids that brightened her mood a bit. She wouldn't tease him about it, after all it was part of his job, well, okay - maybe she wouldn't tease him that badly about it ( ... )

"Hi hi back." Luke lifted a hand and smiled wider. She had just as much energy, it seemed, as she'd had at the bookstore that day, but she'd sat through the story all the same.

The look Luke gave Shosh was only a little pained because he'd been expecting it; Shosh had a tendency to tease him even when in normal random places. "It's optional," he admitted. "But it makes things more fun to do it. At least, I think they like it. Although, I suppose it could be me they're laughing at." He didn't want to look like he was explaining himself too much. He cleared his throat. "Anyway. I tend to think it's a good storytime practice."

Sloane giggled madly as Luke greeted her back in the same ways she'd greeted him. The four year old hadn't seen him since the bookstore, but she still found him as amusing as before, especially the way he did storytime.

Catching Luke's slightly pained expression, she had a moment of guilt before pushing it off. By now Shosh figured he should be used to her teasing, it wasn't like she was known for her pleasantness. "When dealing with kids, the goofier you can be the better." She remarked, chuckling softly. "Whether they're laughing at the book or you, least they're sitting still for longer than five minutes." Or at least that's how Shosh was choosing to look at things. "Making funny noises? Well it keeps the kids interested at least."

He grinned at Sloane again. Kids got such a kick out of the simple things. It was nice.

"I'm learning that," he said, relaxing slightly into a chuckle. "Keeps their attention. I would've thought it'd make them more hyper--which it kind of does once they get to giggling, but they do sit still, you're right about that." He shrugged a bit. "You'd definitely know more about it than me, I'm just getting into it. I've only been doing it since the summer." He put his hands in his pockets as he looked at her a moment. "Maybe I should've picked your brain."
