[He wanted to message her, as promised!!]

Nothing embarassing of the sort. I'll also admit that I'm fond of fantasy and adventure novels myself. If there is a well-written romance as well, I won't refuse it.

Browsing here I have found a few that might pick your interest. If you would you be amenable to the idea how would care for starting a little book club?

[starshower]

A book club? Can't say I've ever been part of one before so I don't even know what it would entail.

I mean, of course I would! That sounds like an amazing idea. What with all this traveling overseas, it can get kinda boring out on the water, huh?

[phoenixdominant]

When all there is to do is ride a rocking ship across the waves until you've hit land? Completely.

That's why I thought it might be an interesting idea. It's simple, we take turns picking out a book to read that might interest both of us. Then while we are travelling we both read our copies of the book. Once we're finished reading, or in this case, once we've hit shore again, we compare notes.

Of course, should you want to compare notes while travelling the seas, that's fine too.

[starshower]

[Oh no, she thinks this sounds like an adorable idea...]

I love this!!! ☺️ You know, what if we meet on Eltrut once in a while to compare notes? There's this great little tea shop that Jill took me to. Could get cozy there with some tea, scones, and the books we read.

[phoenixdominant]

If we are speaking of the same Jill you may have met my sister. Jill Warrick?

If that's the case, we most certainly must investigate this tea shop with our books in hand.

[Book club!!!]

[starshower]

Wait, Jill is your sister!?

[phoenixdominant]

She is. Well, she's more of a found sister, actually. I've known her all my life.

[starshower]

It's a small world, then! Jill is sweet, I met her out on the docks not long after we all arrived here.

Crazy idea, but you think she might wanna join our little book club?

[phoenixdominant]

Of course. I could ask her, I'm sure she would be happy to join us.

[So long as everyone's okay with her slipping in a steamy romance novel here and there-]

[starshower]

[Well. She wouldn't say no to a steamy romance novel if it's good—]

Let me know what she says!

In the meantime, you still haven't told me about the books you've been reading.

[phoenixdominant]

[Joshua will have to stop being such a blushing maiden, then.]

Of course. The one I am reading now is about a noble married couple who secretly live a second life as trained rogues. They are tasked with protecting a charge across a war-torn land. But somewhere along the way, their contracts are turned on one another. A complicated emotional twist.

[It's Mr. & Mrs. Smith- but make it pirates.]

damn i want to read that book

[starshower]

Oh, so a love story with a little bit of intrigue? Count me in!

Do they know that they're both rogues or is that a secret they find out along the way?

[Or is that too spoilery!?]

[phoenixdominant]

Excellent. I'll purchase two copies for us.

I'm not entirely sure of the details on that part. But we can discuss that once we're finished.

[He's very excited about this!]

[starshower]

Thank you, Joshua. I'll get the next ones then. ;)

[This is such a cute idea. He should absolutely be excited about it! Tifa is thrilled!!]

You know, it's funny. I didn't think you'd be into the romances.

[phoenixdominant]

Truly? Does it look as if I might not be? The last time I looked I wasn't exactly the most haggard of people.

[He's amused!!]

[starshower]

It's not that!

[If he could hear her laugh right now...]

I just meant that you seem more the adventure type. You know, big fantasy world, maybe with some dragons or magic. Adventure!

[phoenixdominant]

[He's chuckling on his end too.]

I do like those stories! I grew up reading all of those under the covers with my brother every night.

Yet, it can be our little secret that reading the stories with romance as well always had me captured the most.

[He's a soft heart.]

[starshower]

[He does have a soft heart. Tifa can tell.]

Alright. Promise I won't tell anyone if you don't. 😉

You'll have to tell me about those stories you read with your brother sometime, too.

[phoenixdominant]

Thank you, Tifa.

If I may ask... How did you create that small face? [The emoji!]

That I can do as well. I'm curious if I can find any of the same titles I used to read with him here in this world.

[starshower]

Oh. Here. Click on the button I've circled and a whole bunch will appear!

[And here comes a screenshot of the emoji button next to the text input field, followed by more of them.]

🥰☺️😄

I'm sure you could find something similar, if not the same, if you look hard enough. I've also heard of people asking the Leviathans to bring things back from their worlds. Don't really know how that works, though.

[phoenixdominant]

[Give him a moment!!]

😊😊👍🤠

There we are. Thank you.

I have not heard that the leviathans were capable of such a thing... I'll have to remember that.

[starshower]

There you go! Love the little cowboy. ☺️

But you should definitely ask them how it works. And maybe I can borrow that book sometime. Might consider bringing a few myself, if I can.

[phoenixdominant]

Is that the one with the hat? I'm not entirely sure how a boy would be a cow with it, but I assume that's how it's meant to be.

[What's a cowboy!!??]

I'll be happy to lend you any books. Although if you would like to come with me to a leviathan to ask, I wouldn't turn away your company.

🎀?

[starshower]

We'll save that lesson for next time.

But I'd love to. I've yet to actually meet Nogard properly, so when you go, let me know. I'm pretty good at sneaking onto the leviathan these days. 😉

🎀

[phoenixdominant]

Perhaps you are more corsair than paladin than I had first thought. That is good to hear, I'll keep that in mind then.

We'll speak again soon, Tifa. And thank you.
