(continued from here) Agrippa shook their head, dismissing Bella's embarrassment
"Oh, you don't seem new at all- I just apparently haven't gotten around nearly as much as I'd like! Perhaps there's a part of me that would like to think that the most likely reason I do not recognize someone is that they haven't been around for me to recognize them, but I know that isn't true."They shrugged, helpless to the reality of this particular shortcoming of theirs
"And honestly, as a writer I don't think I could help but agree with you that books can make quite good company. Though I would presume that your tastes lie further away from fiction than my own, even if both of us like topics on the spookier side of things." |

Bella shrugs " I love books in general. doesnt matter if its non-fiction or not. I'd love to hear about any of the books you love so that i can check them out." She says to Agrippa with a smile |

"Oh dear, that's quite the list! I'll have to compile something and get it to you. A top ten..."
They held on to a mock worry a moment before breaking back out into an easy grin
"You said you were a writer earlier, what do you write? Somewhat predictably, if only for the topic of this conversation and absolutely nothing else, I'm a horror fiction writer. Mostly stories involving the paranormal- ghosts, cryptids, aliens- that sort of thing. I would gladly lend you a copy, if you wouldn't consider that to be crass self promotion."

Bella giggles before shaking her head at Agrippa" I would love a copy of your short stories! I'm a sucker for a good scary story or two." She says. " I mainly write poetry but sometimes i like to write out my theories and observations about Magick and Spirits here and there." Bella adds |

Agrippa's brows hit the night sky, apparently impressed
"Non fiction! I've always admired non-fiction writers- I find it difficult enough to write an article that maintains reader interest without a plot, I don't think I'd have it in me to write an entire book! Poetry too for that matter, last time I wrote something that wasn't prose was..."
Their eyes wandered past Bella and into oblivion as they searched the recess of their memories for the event in question
"...gosh. My second semester of English Lit, I think. Ages ago. I don't even remember what it was about."
They nodded to themselves
"We should do a book swap at some point! Maybe bring in a person or two if we can find anyone else interested... Your friend you mentioned earlier wouldn't happen to also be the bookish type, would he? Lucas was it?"

Bella cocks her head to one side before putting a finger on her lips in a stance that reads that she is in deep thought before she looks back at Agrippa and responds. " I believe he does though....that may be because i tend to exuberantly pull my friends towards stuff...eh heh." She says before tapping her index fingers together again with a bashful look on her face. She quickly goes back to having a beaming smile on as she continues excitedly " I'd love a book swap hang out! That sounds lovely, Do you like Tea or Coffee? maybe we could hang out at my place and discuss all things literature!" |

"I'll take nearly anything if you put enough sugar in it! Coffee, if I absolutely must choose, but only the kind that old-school coffee snobs would sneer at. You know, the ones with the syrups and whipping cream."
The Spring cast a vaguely mischievous eye out towards the bar, where they presumed their drink still sat somewhere behind the crowd that now obfuscated it from view
"And that would be absolutely grand with me, though I could also offer my own apartment up for the cause, if you are shy about your own. Mind you, mine isn't exactly the most impressive thing. I've barely even unpacked yet."
A sound somewhat related to an embarrassed chuckle escaped them
"Between settling in and my manuscript writing, getting things out of boxes has been the very last thing on the list. At least none of them are in the way of the doors anymore! But regardless of who's couches we end up on, I think such a discussion would be positively wonderful!"

Bella claps excitedly before zipping around Agrippa briefly. " Awesome! looking forward to it and frappuccino's and latte's are delicious and i will die on this hill!" She says passionately before grinning. " Well, I'm gonna go meander a round a bit but thank you for hanging out and dancing with me! I've had a blast!" Bella adds before giving her new friend a brief hug before skating away |
