"Hm... actually yes. I typically read old Greek and Medieval stuff when I get bored and am feeling philosophical. Most people would just take the stories as typical legends, but what they fail to get is that they're often written to convey a message or an important question. Falls from glory, a loss of everything, catharsis is intriguing in general."Gabriel looked at the title once again, and then back to Kijani. He hadn't gotten her name yet, but he was surprised that she had been willing to keep up a conversation with him. Most people wouldn't even bother, kind of like that Phoebe and Ryan couple he met earlier."I'm Gabriel by the way. You are?"Something like this was a first, Gabriel rarely went out of his way to do these things.

Kijani's small smile widened considerably at Gabriel's talk of legends. "Right, right! They weren't stories for stories sake, they were lessons, warnings... even before the written word, there was the story." She paused, and actually went slightly red. She was going to start babbling like a nerd if she didn't watch herself. "I'm Kijani." She offered her hand to shake, across the table.
