Laura almost squealed in delight as Rayden chose the somewhat romantic spot, the girl sitting down next to her crush, blushing as she glanced at him every few seconds. As he spoke, Laura inched closer to Rayden, stopping her slow move each time he paused. By the time he'd asked the question, Laura was sitting an inch from him, her tail vigorously thumping the bench as her hand slowly goes on top of his had. "Uuuh well, Rowan likes them. He took us in when we had nowhere to go so I thought it would be good to know about the stuff he likes.... I also like books...." She said, hoping he wouldn't react badly to her behavior.

Meanwhile, Rowan nods politely at Claude's comment, smiling at him. "They've been with me for a little more than a year now, I think. They started staying at the shop round the same time I started second year so yeah, I think that sounds right. A little more than two years. Why do you ask?"
