_"She's talking to you, boy,"_ Cadwal hastily pointed out.

_"Hmm?"_

_"She's asking you if that's a good book you're reading."_

_"Who?"_

_"The [girl](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75166/posts/char#post-2323885) in front of you just awoke. Lower your book and look up."_

_"Ah."_

Doing so, [Timothy](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75166/posts/char#post-2323135)'s eyes met her own, and he gave his trademark, friendly, and insufferably well-meaning smile before replying, but bypassing the question first.

"Good morning, miss. And yes, it's quite a good book." His eyes then wandered around her visage. "Your hair's a bit messed up."

_"Wow, smooth,"_ Cadwal remarked.

_"What do you mean?"_ Tim innocently replied.
